I am trying to plot the points of virus outbreak along time of 3 areas. I already have the data1, which have 3 columns: x-coordinate, y-coordinate and time. Then I have a 3D plot as below:-

ListPointPlot3D[data1]

The plot of virus outbreak enter image description here

I have an image of the map of the area concerned, and want to attach it to the bottom of the box for better illustration, is there a way to do this?

Many thanks!

you can combine 2 graphics with show[]. since you didn't provide neither the data nor the image required I used a meme I had saved as an example

data = RandomInteger[{0, 10}, {10, 3}];

Show[{ ListPointPlot3D[data, PlotStyle -> {Red}]  , 
  Plot3D[0, {x, 0, 10}, {y, 0, 10}, 
   PlotRange -> {{0, 10}, {0, 10}, {0, 10}}, PlotStyle -> Texture[ yourfile.jpg    ]]}]

enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks for your reply and it really helps. May I also ask how can I raise up the image from z=0 to z=5? I tried to assign pts = {{0, 0, 5}, {0, 10, 5}, {10, 10, 5}, {10, 0, 5}}; and then run Show[{ListPointPlot3D[data, PlotStyle -> {Red}], Plot3D[0, {x, 0, 10}, {y, 0, 10}, PlotRange -> {{0, 10}, {0, 10}, {0, 10}}, PlotStyle -> {Texture[yourfile.jpg], Polygon[pts, VertexTextureCoordinates -> pts]}]}], but it doesn't do anything. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @HMC to raise the image you must change the value 0 to 5 in Plot3D. In addition, if you want to remove the gridlines simply add Mesh-> None as an option at the end of Plot3D after a comma $\endgroup$
