How can I create 3D plots in R using Plotly?

You can create 3D plots in R using the Plotly library by utilizing the plot_ly() function with the type parameter set to 'scatter3d'.

Can you show me a simple example of a 3D scatter plot?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

library(plotly)

# Sample data
x <- rnorm(100)
y <- rnorm(100)
z <- rnorm(100)

# Create 3D scatter plot
plot_ly(x = x, y = y, z = z, type = 'scatter3d', mode = 'markers')

What if I want to customize the markers?

You can customize the markers by adding parameters like marker=list(size=5, color='red') within the plot_ly() function.

Can I add a title and axis labels to the plot?

Yes! You can add a title and axis labels using the layout() function. For example:

layout(title='3D Scatter Plot', scene=list(xaxis=list(title='X Axis'), yaxis=list(title='Y Axis'), zaxis=list(title='Z Axis')))
