It is designed by exclusively making use of already existing functions of \RR\ and its graphics system and thus shows the extensibility of the \RR\ graphics system. Additionally some examples on generated and real world data are provided, as well as the source code and the help page of \sdd . \input{SFBs3d_Intro} \input{SFBs3d_Design} \input{SFBs3d_Extend} \input{SFBs3d_Examples} \input{SFBs3d_Related} \input{SFBs3d_Conclusion} \bibliographystyle{chicago} \bibliography{ligges} \clearpage \begin{appendix} \section*{Appendix -- help page} \small \input{scatterplot3d-help} \end{appendix} \end{document}
