[R] changing angle in scatterplot3d

Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I had a look at both the cloud() function and the ggobi system. For my work what I need to do is save copies of a 3d plot from
many different files. So essential the procedure would be:
        1.    set and configure the data and create the plot
        2.    change the angle by X ammount
        3.    save to file
        4.    repeat 2. and 3.
All this has to run in a script so it should be automatable. Ggobi is interactive but as I understand it, it is not automatable. The
cloud() function would be ideal but unfortunately it is not yet fully implemented.
I think I can use the angle function within scatterplot3d. I was just wondering one thing. Is it possible to change the angle of a
3d plot after all the data has been set and all the other configuration information has been set?

Many Thanks For Your Help!

| Nothing of your request is possible. If you want to rotate a plot
| (interactively), I'd suggest to look at
|
| 1) cloud() in package lattice, or
|
| 2) the package RGL (Windows only, available at Duncan Murdoch's
| homepage), or
|
| 3) the data visualiziation system "ggobi", available at
| http://www.ggobi.org/ (R interfaces are also available)
