[R] rgl: plane3d or abline() analog

For use with rgl, I'm looking for a function to draw a plane in an rgl 
scene that would function
sort of like abline(a, b) does in base graphics, where abline(0, 1) 
draws a line of unit slope through
the origin. Analogously, I'd like to have a plane3d function, so that 
plane3d(0, 1, 1) draws a
plane through the origin with unit slopes in x & y and plane3d(3, 0, 0) 
draws a horizontal plane
at z=3.

I see that scatterplot3d in the scatterplot3d package returns a 
plane3d() *function* for a given
plot.  I could probably try to adapt this, but before I do, I wonder if 
something like this for
rgl exists that I haven't found.
