I don't know what you want the display to look like, but if you want it 
to be rotatable, rgl is probably the right package to use.


It doesn't directly support the coordinate system you're using, so you 
need to figure out where you want your points (or line segments) plotted 
in Euclidean coordinates, and write your own function to plot those. 
For example, to plot (r, theta) in polar coordinates in the XY plane, 
use (x = r*cos(theta), y = r*sin(theta), z = 0).

Any ideas on that?


You can't easily do what you're trying to do.  You have 6 coordinates to
display:  the 3 angles and values corresponding to each of them.  You
need to suppress something.

If the values for matching angles correspond to each other (e.g. x=23
degrees and y=23 degrees and z=23 degrees all correspond to the same
observation), then I'd suggest suppressing the angles.  Just do a
scatterplot of the 3 corresponding values.  It might make sense to join
them (to make a path as the angles change), and perhaps to colour the
path to indicate the angle (or plot text along the path to show it).
