The TeachingDemos package does not in any way replace the rgl package.  They 
serve very different purposes (the TeachingDemos package does use rgl for a 
couple of functions).

I would be very surprised if there was anything in the TeachingDemos package 
that would be of help in creating barplots with 3d effects.  3d effects distort 
the information in graphs without adding anything to their interpretation.  

If you want to display information, then use the appropriate graph without the 
extra chartjunk.  If you want something to catch the reader's attention, use a 
picture of a kitten.
