Hello,

I'm using the rgl package and plotting a plot with it. I'd like to have all
the axes values auto-hide, but I want to plot a series of characters instead
of the values of the measurement for 2 of the axes. So in the end I will
have one axis (z actually) behave per normal (auto-hide) and I'd like the
other two axes to be custom character vectors that auto-hide.

Example:
x <- 1:10
y <- 1:10
z <- matrix(outer(x-5,y-5) + rnorm(100), 10, 10)
open3d()
persp3d(x, y, z, col="red", alpha=0.7,
aspect=c(1,1,0.5),xlab='',ylab='',zlab='', axes=F)

For the above, axes=F for demonstration purposes only. Now when I call:
axes3d()
...the axis values hide/behave the way I want, but I want my own characters
in there instead of the values that default.

Trying again:
open3d()
persp3d(x, y, z, col="red", alpha=0.7,
aspect=c(1,1,0.5),xlab='',ylab='',zlab='', axes=F)
axis3d('x',labels='test')
...puts in a custom character label 'test', but I loose the behavior/hiding.


Also, then how do I get the values for the z axis to populate with the
default values and auto-hide with the other two custom string axes
auto-hiding?

I'm pretty sure I need to use bbox3d(), but I'm not having any luck.

I'm new'ish to R and very new to the rgl package. Hopefully that makes
sense.

Thanks for your help!
