Dear Paul, I don't have experience with rgl.postscript(), which is relatively new, but find that the png graphs produced by rgl.snapshot() are of reasonably good quality and preserve transparency. Perhaps the developers of the rgl package can shed more light on the matter.
I hope this helps, John -------------------------------- John Fox Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8S 4M4 905-525-9140x23604 http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox -------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Prof. > Paul R.
