public interface PaperType3D
extends PaperType
```
PaperType sub-interface for making 3-dimensional plots.
Any decals placed by PaperType.placeDecal(uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.paper.Paper, uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.Decal) will be painted in the background first, then any glyphs added by placeGlyph(uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.paper.Paper, double, double, double, uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.Glyph, java.awt.Color) will be added to the 3D scene, then 3D rendering will be done obscuring any background decals. Note this is not really 3D for the decals; bear that in mind when writing 3D plotters.
