Title: RGL: An R Interface to OpenGL
Author(s): Duncan Murdoch*+
Affiliation(s): University of Western Ontario
Address: , London, Ontario, N6A 5B7, Canada
Keywords: 3D graphics ; interactive ; graphics ; R
Abstract:

OpenGL is a cross-platform library for 3D rendering. In this paper I will describe RGL, an R package providing 3D graphics routines through OpenGL. The style of the interface follows that of the older S or R plotting functions, with some differences. In particular, it is possible for the user to manipulate objects on the screen and to programmatically change the appearance or content of the display. The package is available for R on Windows, and should soon also be available on some Linux platforms.
