The problem is arising because graphical effects are certainly turn-on on the computer.
I deactivated the graphical effects and was able to rotate the 3D surface plot. Turning effects on bring me back in the original state of a non rotating scene. It seems that it is more an openGL issue. Perhaps is there a kind of priority to give to the rgl device in the global openGL flow ? françois. 2008/5/17 francois Guilhaumon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I am facing the same problem than Mark Kimpel with the rgl package : > > Running various 3D rendering I'm always faced with a static 3d plot, > which does not > rotate when I click and mouse over it. > > I'm running Ubuntu linux 7.10 with a 32bit processor, thus the problem > is not arising from 64bit issues. > > François. > >> sessionInfo() > R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) > i486-pc-linux-gnu > > locale: > LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=fr_FR.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=fr_FR.UTF-8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C > > attached base packages: > [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base > > other attached packages: > [1] sp_0.9-17 rgl_0.73 > > loaded via a namespace (and not attached): > [1] grid_2.7.0 lattice_0.17-2 > > > -- > Guilhaumon François > Laboratoire "Ecosystèmes Lagunaires" > UMR 5119 cc 93 Bat 24 > Université Montpellier II > 34 095 Montpellier > France > > http://www.ecolag.univ-montp2.fr > Tel : +33 4 67 14 45 71 > Fax : +33 4 67 14 37 19 > -- Guilhaumon François Laboratoire "Ecosystèmes Lagunaires" UMR 5119 cc 93 Bat 24 Université Montpellier II 34 095 Montpellier France http://www.ecolag.univ-montp2.fr Tel : +33 4 67 14 45 71 Fax : +33 4 67 14 37 19 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
