Hi, I recently had a problem installing the rgl package on OS X and put together a simple patch. The patched package is available here: http://jinome.stanford.edu/files/rgl_0.66-patched_for_gcc4.tar.gz It can be installed with "R CMD INSTALL rgl_0.66-patched_for_gcc4.tar.gz" as normal at the command line. Also -- as of right now rgl is not in the repository of version 2.3 packages

Hello- I am having problems with plot3d... I keep receiving the follow messages: when I attempt to load the package: library(rgl, pos=4), I get this error message: [6] WARNING: Warning in rgl.init(initValue) : Warning in rgl.init(initValue) : Warning in rgl.init(initValue) : Warning in rgl.init(initValue) : RGL: no suitable visual available Warning in fun(...) : error in rgl_init When I attempt

Dear all, The documentation on the function open3d in the rgl package, reads: open3d opens a new rgl device, and sets the parameters as requested. I want the new rgl device (window) to be sized and positioned in a specific place on my screen. So, I try to set the "windowRect" parameter as follows: > library("rgl") > open3d(windowRect=c(100,100,500,500))

Hello, I'm a admin over at Harvard University and I have quite a few users that use R predominately over VNC. In the past this has not been an issue, but after upgrading to R 2.0.0 they can no longer use RCmdr over VNC. When trying to use the package, they see the following: > library("Rcmdr") Loading required package: tcltk Loading required package: zoo Loading required

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

I'd like to use rgl.surface (or some other function if more appropriate) to create a horizontal and vertical transparent grey slice (plane) running through both the x and y origins and extending across the z axis, i.e. the 3-d equivalent of the normal 2-d coordinate axes we are all familiar with. The examples for rgl.surface are a bit more complex than what I need and I am having trouble

Hi Folks, I'm trying to get rgl.Sweave to produce plots with transparency. However, it just seems to produce opaque plots when pdf is the output type. Perhaps this is a known issue? I'll just use .png in the meantime, but wanted to see about this, as I didn't see it in the documentation (though it's possible I missed it). Thanks, Allie \documentclass{article} \title {rgl

Hi all, I just started using the rgl package in R, and I need to know how I connect the dots I created. A simple line from one co?rdinate (x0,y0,z0) to another (x1,y1,z1) will do. I tried using the code rgl.lines, but it doesn't accept lines that don't stem from O (0,0,0). Please help! Thanks! -- View this message in context:

Hi all, I encountered difficulties when I tried to install the rgl package. I'm using R devel (2.7.0) on Mac OS X 10.5.1. Below is the message popping up when compiling the package from source. I'd be grateful if someone can help me solve the problem. Thanks, Kenneth * Installing *source* package 'rgl' ... checking for gcc... gcc -arch x86_64 -std=gnu99 checking for C

I'm trying to use the rgl package on R-2.7.1 running on top of Ubuntu Hardy amd64. using open3d() and plot3d() I get a plot, but it is not interactive. Furthermore, changes to par3d("FOV"=my.new.value) do nothing. I suspect something is wrong with the rendering engine or interface to it. I do have an Nvidia driver installed and compiz works correctly on the desktop. I've

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 <-

Hello, I am basically using a script that is designed to first create an rgl 3d scatter plot followed by a barplot on the same data. After this is done, the program is to first save the barplot as a .tiff file then to save the rgl 3d graph as a .png file. Once this is done, it is to repeat this 3d plot and barplot combo with saving 49 more times. The plotting script excerpt will be posted at the

Dear Rglers, With rgl, I would like to set marker when a button is pressed, but leave the standard trackball handling otherwise. Thanks to Duncan and Oleg for helping me handling key down. How do I say in a custom mouse handler "after having done your work, forward to standard trackball once only"? The example below shows the idea, but it works only once, then reverts to standard

(This is bcc'd to a list of people who have had problems with rgl lately or who are known to be big users; not cc'd, so you don't all get cc'd all the responses on the R-devel list).

I want to print characters from the symbol font (or perhaps even Wingdings) in an rgl 3d plot, but I am having no luck. So, what do I have to do in order to get this snippet to print out a character from the symbol font? library(rgl) open3d() text3d(1,1,1,"a",adj=c(0.5,0.5),cex=10,family="symbol",font=1) I am on Windows XP with R 2.9.1.

Hi all, How can I tell RGL to set the center for the rotation to the origin of the coordinate system (0,0,0). It seems that the default is to use the center of the display not the origin of the coordinate system. open3d() lines3d(c(0, 1), c(0,0), c(0,0)) lines3d(c(0,0), c(0, 1), c(0,0)) lines3d(c(0,0), c(0,0), c(0, 1)) TIA Mark ???????????????????????????????????????

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
