Dear r users,
I have two kinds of data I'm trying to represent in Rgl.

The first are measurements of soils: heights, diameters, and centerpoints
of each. I would typically represent these in 3d space as cylinders or
cones.
The second are radar data of the area under the solids , xyz plus amplitude
that I would like to represent as a point cloud.
Is there a currently implemented method to represent both solids and points
in the same graph using Rgl?

Just plot both on the same graph. The cylinder3d function produces an object which will be rendered as a cylinder (you need to call shade3d to render it). There's no function for cones, but a cylinder with a very small radius at one end would be close. You can't set the radius to zero currently: it puts a bunch of points at the same position and gets confused. Should probably fix that.

If not I'll just turn the solids into a bunch of points. Thanks
Ben
