You've summoned the advice page on !3d
. There are issues with 3D data visualizations that are are frequently mentioned here. Allow me to provide some useful information:
- Usually, 3D pie charts throw off perspective.
- Even 3D bar or 3D line plots throw off perspective, studies have shown.
- Plots like this are far better off as heatmaps or trellis plots instead.
You may wish to consider one of the following options that offer a far better way of displaying this data:
- See if you can drop your plot to two dimensons. We almost guarantee that it will show up easier to read.
- If you're trying to use the third axis for some kind of additional data, try a heatmap, a trellis plot, or map it to some other quality instead.
