Features:
- Cross-platform (Mac OS X, Win32, Unix/X11)
- R programming interface
- Interactive viewpoint navigation
- Automatic data focus Geometry primitives: points, lines, triangles, quads, texts, spheres, 3D sprites, particles, terrain
- Up to eight light sources
- Alpha-blending (transparency)
- Side-dependant rendering
- Texture-mapping with mipmap support
- Environmental effects: fogging, background sphere
- Bounding box with axis ticks marks
