[R] Exporting an rgl graph

[baptiste auguie]

I have seen pdf files with 3D objects embedded in it, using the U3D format,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_3D

but I don't think there's a device for this in R; in fact there may
not even exist a third-party post-processing route available at this
time to bridge the gap between rgl and this format. It sure would be
nice, though.

Best,

baptiste
