[R] 3D plot with coordinates

[Alaios]

Thanks. So after searching 4 hours last night it looks like that there is no R package that can do this right now. Any other ideas or suggestions might be helpful.RegardsAlex

 Thanks Duncan for the replyI can not suppress anything these are radiation pattern measurements that are typically are taken at X,Y and Z planes. See an example here, where I want to plot the measurements for the red, green and blue planes (so the image below withouth the 3d green structure inside)https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258391165/figure/fig7/AS:322947316240401@1454008048835/Radiation-pattern-of-Archimedean-spiral-antenna-a-3D-and-b-elevation-cuts-at-phi.png 

I am quite confident that there is a tool in R to help me do this 3D plot, and even better rotatable.
Thanks for the reply to allAlex

You can't easily do what you're trying to do.  You have 6 coordinates to 
display:  the 3 angles and values corresponding to each of them.  You 
need to suppress something.

If the values for matching angles correspond to each other (e.g. x=23 
degrees and y=23 degrees and z=23 degrees all correspond to the same 
observation), then I'd suggest suppressing the angles.  Just do a 
scatterplot of the 3 corresponding values.  It might make sense to join 
them (to make a path as the angles change), and perhaps to colour the 
path to indicate the angle (or plot text along the path to show it).
