Dear all,
is it possible to add points to a lattice cloud plot (3D scatter)? I
can plot the main data, but what if I wanted to add another point. In
R there is the high level plotting function plot(), then the low level
points() or lines() etc. What is the equivalent for lattice?

I don't know for sure, but I don't think you can do that in lattice. The scatterplot3d::scatterplot3d function returns enough information to do this, but I don't think lattice::cloud does. But even scatterplot3d::scatterplot3d won't necessarily get it right if points hide others that are behind them. It uses the "painter's algorithm", and that needs everything to be drawn in just the right order, which you probably won't get if you draw things in several calls.

You can draw things in arbitrary order using rgl::plot3d or related functions, but you'll need to do more work yourself to get an array of plots like lattice gives.
