Hello,
Thank you Duncan!
Actually Sys.getenv("PATH") said the same thing: ImageMagick is in my path (and convert.exe is where it is supposed to be), but after i opened R (to see the actual path in R, as you said), loaded rgl, and run again the example, it worked.
I guess that after the software installation, I should have loaded rgl package again in R.
So now it works!
Thank you once again!
Yes, R is given a copy of the PATH when it starts, and updates to the
PATH are not seen until you restart it.

Hello R-users,
I have downloaded and installed a binary version for Windows OS of ImageMagick
(ImageMagick6.5.6-10-q16-windows-dll.exe), I have installed the rgl package and
i've tried running the following example from ?movie3d()
library(rgl)
open3d()
plot3d( cube3d(col="green") )
M <- par3d("userMatrix")
play3d( par3dinterp( userMatrix=list(M,
rotate3d(M, pi/2, 1, 0, 0),
rotate3d(M, pi/2, 0, 1, 0) ) ),
duration=4 )
movie3d( spin3d(), duration=5 )
and then I get the following message:
Writing movie050.png Error in movie3d(spin3d(), duration = 5) : ImageMagick not found
which if I am correct means that R can not see ImageMagick (i have in the
ImageMagick in the path variable: C:\Program
Files\ImageMagick-6.5.6-Q16;;%GTK_BASEPATH%\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\jEdit)
I have found some earlier post with apparently the same problem, but no
solution.
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?
Likely it's not really in your path. Use Sys.getenv("PATH") to see what R sees
as your path. It certainly won't look like what you just posted: those % variables will
be expanded, for instance.
If C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.6-Q16 is on your real path, then go to that folder,
and make sure the executable "convert.exe" is there. That's what rgl is looking
for.

Thank you very much and have a great day ahead!
