Dear list members, I was out of town when this message arrived and so didn't respond at the time. I did respond to a private email from the poster. Yes, the scatter3d() function in the Rcmdr package can identify points in 3D scatterplots drawn with rgl via the identify3d() function in the same pa

It looks like Rcmdr may be able to select points on 3D scatterplots however when I try to use it's 3dscatter plot function I get the error message: could not find function "nice" If I copy the code: scatter3d(data$X, data$Z, data$Y, surface=FALSE, residuals=TRUE, bg="white", + axis.scales=TRUE,
