- detaro 10y agoWhich they hopefully won't allow to be used for 3d pie charts, but visualizations where being 3D is actually useful.
- widdma 10y ago3D plots can useful when the data is intrinsically 3D. But forcing a 3D plot on 2D data, like a pie chart, makes it hard for a viewer to develop an intuition for the data.
- stargazer-3 10y agoFair point, I overlooked the "pie" part of the chart argument. My comment was originally intended to go as a reply to oriettaxx's post.
- leni536 10y agoAFAIK the only viewer that supports interactive 3D in pdf is Adobe Reader. At this point should we stick to the pdf format? Obviously interactive 3D is not meant for printing anyway. Some open access journals publish in html format too, 3D plots can work there better.
