How to plot four dimensional data in a single plot

Hello Everyone, I have a four-dimensional data to plot, where each dimension is independent of the others, i.e. they do not bear any functional relationship. I have attached the data herewith. Please find me a way to achieve it.

If they are bearing no relation to each other why do you want to plot them on a single plot?

In my view you have to options:

• Plot all of your data on the scatter plot (4 individual lines - they will all fit the same scale)
• Use 2x2 subplot to present the data as a scatter plot or as a bar chart

One possible solution would be using scatter plot with changing marker color and/or marker size to represent 4th dimension value. Here is my initial try:

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to plot the data in 3-D bar plots, where x and y-axis should follow the data set of column 1 and 2, z-axis will follow column 3, and the colour code will follow column 4, respectively. Could it be done?

Looking at your data, the same column 1 and 2 values appears multiple times. So, if you plot this data in 3-D bar, several bars will be placed in the same x and y point. Would you still like to plot the data in 3-D bar style?
