Using PROC G3D how to merge scatter and surface 3d plots?

RayJeanClaude — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 14:55:07 GMT

I need to see simultaneously, in a 3D view, a plane and a line.

Using PROC G3D I got these two figures separately (the plane through the PLOT statement, the line via the SCATTER statement).

But I did not find out how to merge these two 3D plots into the same 3D view.

But the first link results in a Page Error, whereas the two other lead to a site whose security is troublesome (no valid certificate).

Maybe some secure location does exist where the two docs of the decibel site are copied and can be seen without danger.

Thanks in advance for mentioning such alternative locations if you are aware of such locations.

In the "best case scenario" you could overlay the two using proc greplay.

But even then, the depth/layer perception would be off, because greplay just overlays them (it doesn't blend them together in a 3d way).

Unfortunately, SAS/Graph is probably not the best tool for 3d modeling.

Benefiting of such a balanced view and advice, coming from a true expert as you, is very valuable. Thanks a lot!
