PCA plot Fig software

Question

[kanwarjag]

I have done PCA and has matrix for three sets, Is there any tool/ software which may give me the nice figure of 3d PCA plot. I have seen several publications with PCA plots.

Thanks

I want to have something like this: http://lgsun.grc.nia.nih.gov/ANOVA/help.html#pca

I tried using this tool but it out put .wrl file and I downloaded all recommended packages still it cannot open the .wrl file. Thanks for suggestion.

You can try BioVinci. The 3D scatter plot there seems to work really well. It also performs the PCA, so you don't have to do this in a separate software then transfer the result to a graphing tool. I like the fact that it lets you interact with your 3D plot (zoom in and out, rotate, showing the info when you hover your mouse). It's here: https://vinci.bioturing.com Hope you find this helpful.

If you can import your data into R, there are lots of packages which you can use to plot 3D scatterplots. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to see some examples.

If you plan to use R, then scatterplot3d package is my suggestion.

Cubemaker is a visualization tool that lets you import, render, manipulate and share 3-dimensional matrices from within a WebGL-capable web browser, without doing any coding.

I made it for visualizing PCA and PCoA results, but it can be used with any generic, minimally-three column dataset. More columns can be added to bring in feature names and subcategories.

Cubemaker can export a persistent web link that you can share and load at a later time, to reload your cube with any display changes.

Links can be useful for presentations, for instance, where a PNG image of the cube has a link that opens Cubemaker and permits live display and exploration. Or you can export a GIF animation and drop it directly into your slide deck, so that your audience can see results without you jumping out to a web browser. Or you can bring the publication-quality PDF into Adobe Illustrator and mark it up for a paper.

More information is available about inputs and outputs, along with links to demonstration cubes and sample matrix files, in the Cubemaker overview. (It's an older PDF, so just replace "stamlab" with "altiusinstitute" in any URLs.)

Not a 3D plot, however there are lot good pics/plots of PCA results and accompanying R code/Data from the supplement of this paper:

I show how to do a 3D PCA plot here. A picture of the plot and R code is here.
