rgl R output

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.

No, that is an issue about the size of the dataset, my issue is the form of visulisations Power Bi will take.
