I have been trying to create a 3d surface with plotly but I couldn't. What I did is the following:

dataf <- data.frame(x=as.numeric(1:50), y=as.numeric(1:50), z=as.numeric(1:5))

And then

plot_ly() %>% add_trace(data = dataf,  x=dataf$x, y=dataf$y, z=dataf$z, type="mesh3d" )

But the problem is that it prints me an empty graph.

Any help is appreciated.

Try `plot_ly(z = as.matrix(dataf), type = "surface")` – SBista Jun 09 '17 at 06:06
It worked! Thanks! – Malvrok Jun 09 '17 at 13:32

I am not sure @SBista produces the desired graph. Look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39783676/r-plotly-3d-surface-plot-issue?noredirect=1&lq=1 instead. – Martin Van der Linden Feb 24 '20 at 21:31
