similar to: ImageMagick not seen by movie3d function from rgl package

Hello, I am trying to save a .gif movie using movie3d from the package {rgl}. I am using the following code combined with the globe example on the ?movie3d page. I've installed ImageMagick and the directory seems to be working properly, i.e. when I do Sys.getenv("PATH"), C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ImageMagick-6.7.0-Q16 shows up. #### library(rgl) open3d() lat <-

Dear list, I'm using the function "movie3d" in the package "rgl" to create a .gif animation of a 3d graphic. The program "ImageMagik" is working properly, R packages are working, basic examples available in the manual also working fine. Problem Solved: when I tried to create more complex movies, i.e. combining different views and zooming, the R-console crashed

Dear r-helpers, Can one save a dynamic graphic produced by rgl, e.g.: open3d(); x <- sort(rnorm(1000)); y <- rnorm(1000); z <- rnorm(1000) + atan2(x,y); plot3d(x, y, z, col=rainbow(1000), size=2) as a dynamic figure that can be embedded in a pdf? _____________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box 400400

Two questions related to creating animated movies with rgl: 1. I've created an rgl scene with 5 different views I want to display in a movie, but I'd like to insert pauses (say, 5 seconds) at each view. How can I do this? I first created 5 userMatrix's, then play3d( par3dinterp( userMatrix=list(M1, M2, M3, M4, M5)), ,duration=2*60/5) ) then tried simply repeating each twice,

Dear list, I gave up trying to fix my movie3d (rgl library) issue in my PC (completely black gif/png file) and went ahead and installed MacPorts and ImageMagick onto my iMac (OSX ver 10.6.8). I think ImageMagick is successfully installed in its default location (under /opt/local), and I ran movie3d but I get the following error: Error in system("convert --version", intern = TRUE) : ?

Hola a todos: Estoy intentando visualizar unos resultados de un programa en R de forma dinámica. Dichos resultados se pueden representar, básicamente, con un plano que gira sobre uno de sus ejes: para dar sensación de movimiento he utilizado la función rgl.clear(), ya que no encuentro los equivalentes en rgl de los parámetros add o new. El problema es que al limpiar la pantalla con rgl.clear la

Dear List, I'm trying to draw vector in XYZ with rgl under use of a cylinder3d. Therefore I scale and rotate a basis-cylinder). However, somehow the rotation is wrong as verified by overplotting arrow3d(). Where is my mistake? library(heplots) library(rgl) # ... 2 vectors data=data.frame(row.names=c('X','Y','Z'), x1=c(2,1,5),y=c(4,3,2))

I've just posted a demo made with the rgl package to Youtube, visible here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prdZWQD7L5c For future reference, here are the steps I used: 1. Design a shape to be displayed, and then play with the animation functions to make it change over time. Use play3d to do it live in R, movie3d to write the individual frames of the movie to .png files. 2. Use the

Dear R-users, I would like to place two 3D plots side-by-side in a rgl-setting. It would nice to have something like "par(mfrow=c(1,2))" for basic plots, or an array framework for wireframe(lattice) (see example below). I only managed to overlap two persp3d plots. My final idea would be to animate both surfaces using play3d(rgl). Thanks in advance for any help. Best, Carlo Giovanni

Dear list, I'm trying to visualise some ellipsoidal shapes in 3D. Their position, axes, and angular orientation can be arbitrary. I saw an ellipse3d function in rgl; however it is heavily oriented towards the statistical concept of ellipse of confidence, whilst I am just concerned with the geometrical object. Below is my current implementation. It is quite slow when creating many shapes, so

Is there a way to change the viewpoint using view3d (or rgl.viewpoint) with respect to the image that currently appears rather than the perspective that rgl thinks is the default? For example, if I create an image and then perform what should be a no-op: rgl.viewpoint(userMatrix=rotationMatrix(0,1,0,0)) the image is rotated. Then I can perform rotations on the result without surprises. But I

Hi All, I would like to be able to use play3d() to translate the view along a surface, and zoom in and out. All the examples in play3d() function description are of rotations. I would also like to know if there is a method of creating a legend of for the 3d surface using rgl package. Thanks in advance. Chibisi [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I did some nice grafics using plot 3d and scatter3d. Is there a, hopefully not too complicated way, to transform these dynamic, three-dimensional and interactive grafics in a kind of executable file? I want to show and send them via e-mail to projekt partners who don`t use GNU R and who are not used to do programming. So the result should be quite comfortable to execute for them in

Hi, I can't seem to install R from source. I've downloaded the latest Rtools211.exe from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ & done a full installation of that and Inno Setup. I have set R_HOME as C:\R (and also tried using C:\R\R-2.11.1) After successfully running 'tar xf R-2.11.1.tar.gz' the modifications I have made and saved as MkRules.local are: BUILD_HTML =

For a paper dealing with generalized ellipsoids, I want to illustrate in 3D an ellipsoid that is unbounded in one dimension, having the shape of an infinite cylinder along, say, z, but whose cross-section in (x,y) is an ellipse, say, given by the 2x2 matrix cov(x,y). I've looked at rgl:::cylinder3d, but don't see any way to make it accomplish this. Does anyone have any ideas? thx,

Hi all, I've been using the 'rgl' package to visualise in 3d the water temperature recorded by a glider deployed off the coast of Australia (see snapshot attached). Using the writeWebGL function, I'm able to produce an html file of the scene with which I can then interact (e.g. zoom in/out, rotate) in my web browser. In R, I have created another scene that includes a loop

I have just started using the package 'rgl' to explore my data as a 3D scatterplot. It's a great tool. But I would like to be able to save some graph views and it appears the only format available is 'png' and it doesn't look that nice. It is excellent to work with on screen and explore/play, but when it comes to producing a good quality graphic I'm a bit

Dear R users, I'm currently visualizing my data using scatter3d from the "Rcmdr" package. I have data points which can be separated in two classes. Data points from class 'A' should be colourised red and data points in class 'B' should be colourised 'blue'. No matter what I try, the data points are always blue. I attached a (very) minimal example to

Hi, I don't know much about the RGL package, and I have read the documentation and tried some parameters, with no luck... I would like to generate a movie from a 3D object (code below), where the vortex A is closer to the observer, and then the object rotates and the B vortex gets closer. I would like to capture this movie to a file. By the way, I am not being able to insert unicode text

Dear R-users, within the rgl-package, I would have a question about the usage of persp3d in combination of rgl.viewpoint. I am not able to figure out how to let a 3D plot rotating around likewise the example in ?rgl.viewpoint. It seems that when I use persp3d(...) I see something on my screen, which is different from what I get when it's rotating. Is there any different behavior between
