Not >a good deal But others may be better at using them than I 3-D graphics can reveal a lot, but they generally need to be dynamic, not static. The only static ones that I find useful are the stereo pairs, but those are too much trouble for most purposes. In R, Daniel Adler's rgl package does dynamic graphics. (I wrote a package a few years ago that was also called rgl; I've renamed mine to djmrgl, and have agreed with Daniel that we're better off with his.)
