[FORGED] Re: Question on function "scatterplot3d"

Hi all,
  I have a question with regard to making plots using function
"scatterplot3d".
Please see the example below. It looks like, for y axis, the tickmark text
was cutoff.
The number "10" does not show up completely. I tried to work with par(mpg).
It does not
seem to work. Hope to get some advice here. Thanks much!

C <- runif(30)
B <- rep(1:3, each=10)
A <- rep(1:10,3)
scatterplot3d(B,A,C, type = "h", lwd = 1, pch = 16, color="red",  main =
"",
              grid=TRUE,  col.grid="lightgreen",
              xlab="x", ylab="y", zlab="z?)

Everything seems ok to me. Try to reset/clear all plots in your plotting window and try only to run the code above. Perhaps You changed par settings before in some point?

I tried the code given above, and after I replaced the <expletive 
deleted> incorrect double quote mark (after the final "z"), it ran and 
looked OK *except* for the positioning of the "y" axis label, which is 
at the "far end" of the y-axis rather than being at the "centre" of the 
y-axis.  (See attached.)

Is this a bug?

cheers,

Rolf Turner

P.S. I have also attached the code in the file "scatScript.txt", for 
convenience.
