#' Display 3d projection with depth cues
#'
#' Suggestion to use gray background and colour saturation (instead of
#' gray shading) by Graham Wills.
#
#' @param center should projected data be centered to have mean zero (default:
#'   TRUE). This pins the centre of the data to the same place, and makes it
#'   easier to focus on the shape.
#' @param half_range half range to use when calculating limits of projected.
#'   If not set, defaults to maximum distance from origin to each row of data.
#' @param ... other arguments passed on to \code{\link{animate}}
#' @seealso \code{\link{animate}} for options that apply to all animations
#' @keywords hplot
#' @export
#' @examples
#' animate_depth(flea[, 1:6])
