[R] grouping in scatterplot3d

[Rishabh Gupta]

Hi,
    Thanks very much for your reply.
I think what I was hoping for was a 3d version of boxplot. Box plot will give me a median, the quartiles and the upper and lower
range for each group. If there is a function that would give me the same information but for 3d plots, that is really what I was
hoping for.

Many Thanks

Rishabh

| Of course you can color the different groups. Make use of the argument

|
|  scatterplot3d(<PLOTVAR>, [<PLOTVAR2>], [<PLOTVAR3>],
|    color = as.integer(factor(<GROUPINGVAR>)))
