This simple Shiny web application takes as input a number from 1-100 which represents the number of points on the 3-D plot. Points are randomly generated from a normal distribution with mean of 30 and standard deviation of 5.

The data generates random values based on the number of points inputted by the user via the slider. This example shows a simulation of 100 points.

x <- rnorm(100, mean = 30, sd = 5)
y <- rnorm(100)
z <- 1:100

## [1] 24.60172 31.10556 36.76951 41.50897 18.66164 34.51571

## [1] -1.39470079 -0.38601704 -0.14178457  1.01506342  0.05969722  0.45938838

Simply use the slider to adjust how many data points you want generated. The default value is 50 but you can choose between 1-100.

Using the 5 points from the previous slide, this is the 3-D plot that is generated.
