Thanks a lot for the reply.After ?looking at different parts of the code today I was able to start with simple 2D polar plots as the attached pdf file. ?In case the attachment is not visible I used the plot.polar function to create something like that.https://vijaybarve.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/polarplot-05.png Now the idea now will be to put three of those (for X,Y,Z) in a 3d rotatable plane. I tried the rgl function but is not clear how I can use directly polar coordinates to draw the points at the three different planes.? Any ideas on that? Thanks a lot.RegardsAlex On Tuesday, June 20, 2017 9:49 PM, Uwe Ligges <ligges at statistik.tu-dortmund.de> wrote: package rgl.

You have 6 coordinates to display: the 3 angles and values corresponding to each of them. You need to suppress something. If the values for matching angles correspond to each other (e.g. x=23 degrees and y=23 degrees and z=23 degrees all correspond to the same observation), then I'd suggest suppressing the angles. Just do a scatterplot of the 3 corresponding values. It might make sense to join them (to make a path as the angles change), and perhaps to colour the path to indicate the angle (or plot text along the path to show it).

Thanks Duncan for the replyI can not suppress anything these are radiation pattern measurements that are typically are taken at X,Y and Z planes. See an example here, where I want to plot the measurements for the red, green and blue planes (so the image below withouth the 3d green structure inside)https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258391165/figure/fig7/AS:322947316240401 at 1454008048835/Radiation-pattern-of-Archimedean-spiral-antenna-a-3D-and-b-elevation-cuts-at-phi.png? I am quite confident that there is a tool in R to help me do this 3D plot, and even better rotatable.
