Hi all,

I'm trying to plot a 3D graph using wireframe, and I want to colour the graph dependent on z axis values. my z axis range is 0 - 2. Basically what I want is to colour from various points different colours. so say 1.4-2 would be blue, 0.4-1.4 red 0 - 0.4 green or whatever colours.


data.m = as.matrix(read.table("data.txt", sep='\t', header=T))[,-1]
library(lattice)
wireframe(data.m,aspect = c(0.3), shade=TRUE, screen = list(z = 0, x = -45), light.source = c(0,0,10), distance = 0.2,zlab="Freq",xlab="base",ylab="Fragment")


That is what I have so far, this just uses the rainbow colour, but i want to assign specific colours to specific regions. I have tried to look through the documentation but its not terribly clear to me.

Following the advice in help(wirefrane) you need to look at the levelplot section for advice re: a proper specification to colorkey and follow the appropriate links in the help pages. Whether your data is a proper input to wireframe cannot be determined from the included information, although I suppose your reported success suggests it is.

This is an untested (since there was nothing to test) wild-assed guess after reading the material I pointed to:

wireframe(data.m,aspect = c(0.3), shade=TRUE, screen = list(z = 0, x = -45), light.source = c(0,0,10), distance = 0.2,zlab="Freq",xlab="base",ylab="Fragment",
   col=level.colors(x, at = do.breaks(range(data.m), 30),
col.regions = colorRampPalette(c("red", "white", "blue")(30))
      )

(Also not a Mac question so is on the wrong list.)
