Doing a visual graphic and trying to make it "pretty"

Here's simple chart to play with:

library(rgl)
dotframe<- data.frame(x=c(0,7,0,0,-7,0),y=c(0,0,7,0,0,-7),z=c(7,0,0,-7,0,0)) dotframe plot3d(dotframe$x,dotframe$y,dotframe$z, radius=3, type='s',col=c('red','green','blue','purple','orange','gray'), axes=FALSE, box=FALSE, xlab='',ylab='',zlab='')

text3d(x=7,y=0,z=0, text="hello, world",adj = 0.5, color="blue") #adds a label at one of the points

My questions:

1) is there a way to label the points (spheres in this case) so that the label 'stays on top'? other than text3d(), which adds labels, but they are hidden when the graph is rotated? 2) can a bitmap, say, of a company or university be inserted into the title area?
3) can a bitmap be used as the marker for a point?

Thanks in advance for help-I learn a lot from others questions and appreciate direction (even if it's RTFM!)


No RTFM (or advice) from me. I'm afraid all I have to offer is the whimsical notion that the next thing people will request is how to program Second Life avatars within R.
