How to make your own 3-D sculpture with R
We've mentioned before how you can use R to design 3-D objects. Now, thanks to the latest version of the rgl package, you can produce real-world 3-D objects with R as well. The rgl package has long made it possible to create virtual 3-D objects in R, and export them as animations like this: But now, package author Duncan...
