Put a fixed title in an interactive 3D plot using rgl package, R (4 answers)

Editing to provide more code and a runnable example.

If I open a 3D plot using the following code:

library(rgl)

GainTargets = seq(from=1, to=12, by=1)
PredBarTargets = seq(from=3, to=16, by=1)

data=structure(c(1176.18, 1379.34, 1280.67, 1149.02, 1034.01, 1028.74,

             146.22, 289.93, 284.82, 337.22, 347.41, 337.29), .Dim = c(14L, 
                                                                       12L))

Points<-as.matrix(data)

open3d()
persp3d(x=PredBarTargets, y=GainTargets, z=Points, 
     col="green3", main="Total Points")

then I do get a title on the plot, but unfortunately the title moves around with mouse actions.

Does anyone know how to get the title text "Total Points" to be fixed at the top of the window such that it doesn't move? Also, if there's a way to associate the axis text with the axis that that has the numbers on it then that might be more readable.

Thanks

Answer 1

This cannot be done in rgl at the moment. You can only place text in 3d coordinates and have it rotate with the plot. Why not contact the maintainer of rgl and put this on a feature request list.
