\details{
\code{ltransform3dMatrix} and \code{ltransform3dto3d} are utility
functions to help in computation of projections. These functions are
used inside the panel functions for \code{cloud} and
\code{wireframe}. They may be useful in user-defined panel functions
as well.
The first function takes a list of the form of the \code{screen}
argument in \code{cloud} and \code{wireframe} and a \code{R.mat}, a
4x4 transformation matrix in homogeneous coordinates, to return a new
4x4 transformation matrix that is the result of applying \code{R.mat}
followed by the rotations in \code{screen}. The second function
applies a 4x4 transformation matrix in homogeneous coordinates to a
3xn matrix representing points in 3-D space, and optionally does some
perspective computations. (There has been no testing with non-trivial
transformation matrices, and my knowledge of the homogeneous
coordinate system is very limited, so there may be bugs here.)
% \code{palette.shade} is the function used by default for calculation
% of colors when \sQuote{shading} a wireframe. Such a function can expect three
% arguments in general, namely \code{irr}, \code{ref} and
% \code{height}. \code{irr} should represent foreshortening, being the
% cosine of the angle between the incident light ray and the normal to
% the surface. \code{ref} represents the direction of the reflected
% light, and in fact is the cosine of half the angle between the
% reflected ray and the viewing direction. \code{height} is the scaled
% (average) height (of any particular facet).
