To rotate the graph you can change the viewpoint. Try: ?rgl.viewpoint

library(rgl)
x <- sort(rnorm(1000))
y <- rnorm(1000)
z <- rnorm(1000) + atan2(x,y)
plot3d(x, y, z, col=rainbow(1000), size=2)
start <- proc.time()[3]
while ((i <- 36*(proc.time()[3]-start)) < 360) {
  rgl.viewpoint(i,i/4); 
}


To define the side which the axes will be displayed, try: ?axes3d

library(rgl)
x <- sort(rnorm(1000))
y <- rnorm(1000)
z <- rnorm(1000) + atan2(x,y)
plot3d(x, y, z, col=rainbow(1000), size=2,axes=F)
axes3d(c('x--','x+-','x++','x-+','z--','y++'))

hth,

Subject
[R] Axes in 3D plots






I am wondering if anyone knows how to change or rotate the default axes on 
a 3D scatterplot. I would like to change which sides of the cube the 3 
axes are displayed on. 

Many thanks,

Leah Gerber
