I'm trying to use R and the package rgl to produce a custum output.
MWE
library(rgl)
df <- iris
plot3d(iris[,1:3])
This produces an output in Rstudio but not in Power Bi, I think this could be since plot3d's output is not a png. Does anyone know a workaround to this?
Thanks.
Hi @Anonymous ,
R visuals in Power BI Desktop have the following limitations:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-r-visuals#known-limitations

Is it possible to have rgl output to the default R display?
@Anonymous , refer is it very similar to you issue ?
No, that is an issue about the size of the dataset, my issue is the form of visulisations Power Bi will take.
