Dear R helpers,

I have a 3D scatter plot that I have generated from scatterplot3d (which
looks great- thanks!) and I can see that the points in my graph fall in a
plane.
Following the example 5 from 3D scatter plot (below) I have fitted a
regression plane.
Now what I would like to do is a rotation  so that my new co-ordinate system
is about the fitted plane (by finding the normal to the plane using
crossprod?) and then map the data points onto this plane.

I played with the function xyz.convert from s3d but i think this is mapping
to the xy plane whereas i would like to map onto my fitted plane.

Is there a package/function that can help me do this that I have missed? or
does anyone have any suggestions / sample code to get me started in the
right direction?
Thanks very much for your help!
Jacqueline

#R-2.6
## example 5
       data(trees)
       s3d <- scatterplot3d(trees, type="h", highlight.3d=TRUE,
           angle=55, scale.y=0.7, pch=16, main="scatterplot3d - 5")
       # Now adding a regression plane to the "scatterplot3d"
       attach(trees)
       my.lm <- lm(Volume ~ Girth + Height)
       s3d$plane3d(my.lm, lty.box = "solid")
