Re: [R] Exporting an rgl graph
Thanks a lot Both Asymptote and MeshLab work fine. Thanks for this article, Luke. On my particular case, I need to export lines (1D object in a 3D space) and not surfaces (2D objects). Is it possible to draw lines with misc3d ?

Re: [R] Exporting an rgl graph
The easiest approach may be to just install R onto a USB drive (flash/thumb/...) then when you go to your coworkers computer just run R from the USB drive and show the rgl plot. I think there is also a tool to create an animation from rgl, it is not interactive, but you could e-mail a movie file that they could play to see the plot from many angles. -- Gregory (Greg) L.

Let me precise my question. In fact, I do not want to capture a screen, I want to save an object that can be seen in 3D. With rgl, using my mouse, I can make the object move. This is what I want to export: an real 3D object that my collaborator will have the possibility to see in 3D. You mean without them having to install R and rgl and run the code that produces your graphic? I guess you could somehow export a VRML or some other 3d file: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRML but I suspect of all the billions of people on the planet only Duncan Murdoch knows enough about rgl to figure that one out... The person at the other end would still need a VRML viewer. Just get them to install R.

Acrobat 9.3 for the Mac renders the plots correctly. Now I get quite lovely orientable images.
