View an rgl plot using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning

Question

Using an "execute R script module" in Azure-ml studio, when I plot to a rgl device, I get a broken image icon under the graphics section of the R Device output.

Is there some way to view (and even interact with) the resulting rgl device? If not is there some way to transfer the rgl output to a standard R graphics device?

Simple example:

# put this code inside the execute R script module

library(rgl)

rgl.spheres(0,0,0, radius=1, col="red")

To be clear, I know about rgl.snapshot and rgl.postscript and how to save and /or view an rgl device in a standard R session, but have not been able to make these standard approaches work in azure-ml.

Answer 1

You can use webgl output by calling rglwidget() function.
