How to specify camera perspective of 3d plotly chart in R?

Question

I would like to change the default camera perspective of my plotly 3d scatter plot, it is not clear from the help how this should be done. I understand the layout parameters

Answer 1

This is a little late but hopefully this helps others looking for a solution to this. Here's an example:

library(plotly)
set.seed(123)

# Create Random Data
ds <- diamonds[sample(1:nrow(diamonds), size = 1000),]

scene = list(camera = list(eye = list(x = -1.25, y = 1.25, z = 1.25)))

plot_ly(ds, x = carat, y = cut, z = price, group = color, type = "scatter3d", mode = "markers",
        marker = list(opacity = 0.6, size = 4)) %>% 
  layout(title = "3D Scatter plot", scene = scene)
