The current issue of JCGS (Vol 18 No 1,

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.
Very kewl. On a Mac the greyscale plots opened in Adobe Acrobat
Reader
v8.2.2 displays properly, but the color version supp_j.pdf looks like
a ménage à trois of three psychedelic sea urchins. I think that Adobe
may need to do some work on their display engine for this to be a
fully cross-platform combination. The color version of the volcano
example is likewise carpeted with spiky artifacts.
(I have not yet tried producing plots de novo with the Mac pdf
device.)
Have you tried in Acrobat Reader >=9 ? The editorial says you need
that
to view the pdfs properly.
Thank you, that was it. I thought that my version of Acrobat Reader
was current for my OS, but it was not. Acrobat 9.3 for the Mac renders
the plots correctly. Now I get quite lovely orientable images.
