This is great news Duncan! If you do consider adding support for movie15, the Asymptote graphics language may be handy: http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/ Asymptote can embed 3D graphs into LaTeX documents that are fully zoomable/manipulatable. It also uses LaTeX to typeset the figure text. -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate-- Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Sweave-support-added-to-rgl-package-tp3461163p3463653.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
