[R-sig-Geo] How to correct the scale of the plot and also location of the legend bar in R

[Ferra Xu]

I computed a 3D kernel (longitude, latitude, depth) and displayed the magnitude with the sphere radius and time with color as follows. I have two problems. First one is that it creates the legend in a separate window and the second one is that I have problem with the scale of the graph. I need to see if the balls touch or overlap each other from the graph but since the scales are not correct I cannot recognize it.

library(rgl)
library (graphics)

library(plotrix)
