One way to get at all the functions (although not
as easy as help() is
library(rgl); ls(pos=2)
which literally lists the available functions. As
Duncan said, there are multiple functions documented in each page and
only the page definitions show up (e.g. "matrices" is the page for
"work[ing] with homogeneous coordinates", and contains 10
different functions ...) or ? because some functions are
hidden in the namespace [but I think the former]).
(2) demo(package="rgl") may be helpful
(3) it would be interesting to try to extract a list of
all the package that have rgl as dependencies or suggestions --
I know offhand of emdbook, Rcmdr, vegan ...
(4) would you like to draft a vignette as you figure rgl
out?

Ben and Duncan,
Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I"m having some difficulty
navigating this really good package using my normal learning
techniques. When I do 'help(package = "rgl") it seems only a very
small subset of functions available show up. Perusing the rgl.pdf
downloaded from CRAN demonstrates the same lack of documentation.
There is no vignette. In addition, I have found at least one other
package with 3d functions (emdbook::curve3d()).
What is the best resource for learning about all the foo3d() and lower
level functionality that rgl and its dependents provide? I saw a book
at B&N just last week on openGL. Would that be helpful?

I'm using the command below on an open3d() object to create a shaded

the cube. What is the correct approach? Mark
how about scale3d() ?
shade3d(translate3d(scale3d(cube3d(),5,5,5),-6,1,-1),col="blue", alpha = 0.2)
shade3d(translate3d(cube3d(),-6,1,-1),col="green", alpha = 0.2)
shade3d(translate3d(scale3d(cube3d(),10,10,10),-6,1,-1),col="red", alpha = 0.2)
