R visualizations in Jupyter

A common use of R is to use several visualizations, which are available depending on the underlying data. In this section, we will go over some of them to see how R interacts with Jupyter.

R 3D graphics in Jupyter

One of the packages available for 3D graphics is persp. The persp package draws perspective plots over a 2D space.

We can enter a basic persp command in a new Notebook just by using the following command:

example(persp) 

So, we will have something like this in a Notebook:

Once we run the step (Cell | Run All), we will see the display that's shown in the following screenshot. The first part is the script involved in generating the graphic (this is part of the example code):

 

Then, we will see the following graphic display:

R 3D scatterplot in Jupyter

The R lattice package has a Cloud function that will produce 3D scatterplots.

The script we will use is as follows:

# make sure lattice package is installed 
install.packages("lattice") 
 
# in a standalone R script...
