Why some custom graph created using R is not displayed in Power BI

Hi, I generated some graphs using local R engine (using plot3d() function - it creates interactive 3D graph), which I'm unable to generate in power BI. Instead of a visual, a small pop containing the generated graph appears and quickly disappears, and in place of the visual, error message appears. Error Message: No image was created. The R code did not result in creation of any visuals. Make sure your R script results in a plot to the R default device.

    Could you please provide the r script code written in PBI to us? So that I can try to repro it locally and see if I can help you.

      x, y, z are cordinates of 3D. dataset <- data.frame(x,y,z) dataset <- unique(dataset) library(rgl) attach(dataset) plot3d(dataset)

        Did you install your visualization package in your RGUI which mentioned in this article? (It should be rgl here)

        BTW, you can take a look at the configurations in above article to see if there is anything missed.

    RGL is not currently supported in the Power BI Service.

    RGL and specifically the plot3D() function do not produce a visual that PBI knows how to render.

    Suggest using the plot3D package instead. This one is supported in the desktop and service.
