Well well well, what do we have here? Is that... real 3D data in my 3D ggplot? 🤫

3D ggplot of parabolic great circle trajectories (i.e. ballistic-ish paths) on a non-linear Robinson projection: how do we ensure the 3D data is consistent with the underlying ggplot? Simple: we extract the coordinate transformation from the ggplot object itself!

@tylermorganwall I like the Prague sky in the background
@tylermorganwall cool. What's the scatterplot's z-axis?
@ryanmcshane The z axis for the points is mtcars$disp
@tylermorganwall I don't understand the plot. Are you just trying out stuff?
@tylermorganwall this looks fascinating. Will there be sliders (or mouse) to change the viewpoint?
@RMKrug Draggable with the mouse, it's the same as the current plot_gg() interface via rgl
