Scaling the coordinates for 3D visualization
scale_multi(trans = scaleBox(center = TRUE), ...)For continuous scales, the name of a transformation object or the object itself.
Built-in transformations include "asn", "atanh", "boxcox", "date", "exp", "hms", "identity", "log", "log10", "log1p",
"log2", "logit", "modulus", "probability", "probit", "pseudo_log", "reciprocal", "reverse", "sqrt" and "time".
A transformation object bundles together a transform, its inverse, and methods for generating breaks and labels.
Transformation objects are defined in the scales package, and are called <name>_trans (e.g., scales::boxcox_trans()).
You can create your own transformation with scales::trans_new().
Other arguments passed on to scale_(x|y)_continuous(). To set the position scales,
three scales (x, y, z) has to be set simultaneously.

In 3D rotation, different scales of variables x, y and z may cause an issue that the points appear to be
off the window even with a minor tweak. Additionally, if one variable is in a large scale,
the shape of the 3D plot may be dominated. Setting scale_multi can ensure the scales in the same measurement, as
we rotate the plot, most points will stay inside the current view.
