Hi Luigi, Upon careful reading of the help page, you can do it with scatter3D:
scatter3D(X, Y, Z, col.var = Z, pch = 16, cex = 2,clim=c(0.5,3)) scatter3D(X, Y, K, col.var = K, pch = 16, cex = 2,clim=c(0.5,3)) Jim On Thu, Mar 14, 2019 at 9:32 PM Luigi Marongiu <marongiu.lu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear all, > I am trying to display multivariate data using the library plot3D.
