rgl.user2window(x, y = NULL, z = NULL, projection = rgl.projection())
rgl.window2user(x, y = NULL, z = 0, projection = rgl.projection())
rgl.projection(dev = cur3d(), subscene = currentSubscene3d(dev))

`x, y, z`	Input coordinates. Any reasonable way of defining the coordinates is acceptable. See the function `xyz.coords` for details.
`projection`	The rgl projection to use
`dev, subscene`	The rgl device and subscene to work with

These functions convert between user coordinates and window coordinates.

Window coordinates run from 0 to 1 in X, Y, and Z. X runs from 0 on the left to 1 on the right; Y runs from 0 at the bottom to 1 at the top; Z runs from 0 foremost to 1 in the background. rgl does not currently display vertices plotted outside of this range, but in normal circumstances will automatically resize the display to show them. In the example below this has been suppressed.

The coordinate conversion functions produce a matrix with columns corresponding to the X, Y, and Z coordinates.

rgl.projection() returns a list containing the following components:

`model`	the modelview matrix
`projection`	the projection matrix
`viewport`	the viewport vector

See par3d for more details.
