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

I am quite confident that there is a tool in R to help me do this 3D plot, and
even better rotatable.
Thanks for the reply to allAlex

You can't easily do what you're trying to do.? 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. So after searching 4 hours last night it looks like that there is no R
package that can do this right now. Any other ideas or suggestions might be
helpful.RegardsAlex

Any other ideas or > suggestions might be helpful.I don't know what you want the display to look like, but if you want it to be rotatable, rgl is probably the right package to use. It doesn't directly support the coordinate system you're using, so you need to figure out where you want your points (or line segments) plotted in Euclidean coordinates, and write your own function to plot those. For example, to plot (r, theta) in polar coordinates in the XY plane, use (x = r*cos(theta), y = r*sin(theta), z = 0).
