Hello,
maybe someone can help me. I am looking for a possibility to plot a
3D area
diagram like in Excel:

this!
Would be nice if someone had any idea about that.
I don't know why you would want to subject your viewers/readers to a
graph like that (Do we really need three dimensions and a ton of
color to represent two groups of 4 numbers? And how can you possibly
do comparisons when they are each behind each other? The area shading
would prompt the viewer to compare areas, and only the blue areas are
visible. Actually, can one even tell from the graph which of the two
lines is higher in the fourth quarter, let alone by how much?), but
would using RExcel to actually ask Excel from R to draw the graph be
an acceptable solution? Otherwise I think that perhaps looking at
wireframe in the lattice package might get you started. Perhaps
others have some better suggestions.
But I would reiterate my suggestion for considering other ways of
showing your data.
Thank you
