Hi Jason, lattice, with the help of the latticeExtra package does excellent "business"-like 3D bars. With devices like PDF that handle transparency you can make the facets transparent.
library(lattice) library(latticeExtra) ?panel.3dbars ## Example from the help file (modified to show alpha channel capab.) cloud(VADeaths, panel.3d.cloud = panel.3dbars, xbase = 0.4, ybase = 0.4, screen = list(z = 40, x=-60), col.facet="grey", alpha.facet=.5) Regards, Mark.
