R help - Feb 2010 - Positioning the y label in scatterplot3d

Is there a way of repositioning the y label in scatterplot3d so that it is
parallel with the y axis?

Many thanks

Short answer: No.

Long answer: You could hack the code and add some angle argument to the 
text() calls that label the y axis, but it is hard to guess the correct 
angle that highly depends on the current projection.
If you find a way how to do that appropriately (other than rewriting 
scatterplot3d to use grid), I am very interested.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
