Hello, I am very new to R. I would like to plot astronomy data by right ascension, declination, and various "distance" values, such as redshift and comoving distance, in 3D. Is there any 3D polar plotting functions? I can't seam to locate any information on whether it exists or not.
Searching on "spherical coordinates" brings up quite a few hits in r- search: Try: search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query="spherical+coordinates"&max=100&result=normal&sort=score&idxname=functions&idxname=Rhelp08&idxname=views&idxname=Rhelp02 The most relevant appears to be: finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/library/RFOC/html/00Index.html A similar question was posed a couple of months ago and the answer was that the responder was not aware of any but imagined that you would end up using using rgl.
