#' Render objects using RGL
#'
#' `glplot()` is a generic function for renders various kinds of spatial
#' objects, i.e. `Spatial*` data and `fm_mesh_2d` objects. The function invokes
#' particular methods which depend on the class of the first argument.
#'
#' @name glplot
#' @export
#' @param object an object used to select a method.
#' @param \dots further arguments passed to or from other methods.
