animations, 3D visualizations, and movies in on-line PDF files
supporting JCGS articles. The online supplements to the editorial
include examples.  The 3D examples related to the misc3d packages are
also available in
http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/misc3d/misc3d-pdf/.  At some point
the code there will be added to misc3d.  It should be possible to
adapt these ideas to other objects rendered with rgl.

Luke,
Your misc3d-pdf example is very instructive and the .tex file shows how
to embed in LaTeX.  Thanks! (JCGS 19(1) is actually one of the nicest
issues in a long time.)
Of the two approaches you
describe, the Asymptote route seems easier and more capable than the
MeshLab one.

It would be particularly useful to have this capability available for rgl. Any plans for this?

One note:  With Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.1, the U3D and PRC images display
on screen, but do not print (replaced by the filename).  Is this your
experience too?

-Michael
