In ngort01/map3d: 3D plotting methods for spatial data on maps

#' Maps and spatial data in 3D with rgl.
#'
#' map3d provides basic methods to create interactive 3D plots of
#' spatial data stored in classes defined in \code{\link[sp]{sp}} on 
#' top of maps from the OpenStreetMap package.
#' More information about each function can be found in its help 
#' documentation.
#'
#' Plotting geographic informations in 3D.
#'
#' The methods in this package take either map obects or spatial 
#' objects and plot them in 3D using \code{\link{rgl}}.
#' The main function is \code{\link{spplot3d}} which takes a spatial 
#' object and plots it on a map defined by the bounding box of the 
#' object.
#' The map itself is plotted by \code{\link{map3d}}.
