[R] 3D Bar Graphs in ggplot2?

[baptiste auguie]

A barplot rendered with povray,

http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/03.html#10

At the other end of the spectrum,

library(txtplot)
 x <- factor(c("orange", "orange", "red", "green", "green", "red",
               "yellow", "purple", "purple", "orange"))
  o <- capture.output(txtbarchart(x))
library(gplots)
textplot(o)

Best,

baptiste
