similar to: rgl.snapshot() on Vista

Dear all, I write to the community to know if other people expierenced the same problem. I want to save a rgl scene where I plotted a 3d cloud of spheres whose radius is set proportional to a given variable and coloured by another group variable and with 95% ellipsoids for distribution of any group. I had no problem at all for coding but I had two problem when saving the scene (in any format)

Does anyone have a way of producing solid shapes other than spheres in rgl? I am using rgl to produce a simple visualisation of a forest model results using "lollipops". Its just a bit of fun, but as many of the trees are pines I would like to depict their crowns as cones. If there is a solution I need it to work under windows. Here is the example. library(rgl) library(misc3d)

I have a general style question about R coding. Suppose I'm writing a function (foo1) that calls other functions (foo2, foo3, ...) which have complicated argument lists (e.g. optim(), plot()), _and_ I may be calling several different functions in the body of foo1. Since foo2 and foo3 have different sets of arguments, I can't just use "..." ; I did write some code a while ago

Hi all I am a complete newbie to this list (just subscribed) and a newcomer to R (an S user from olden times). I have been using scatter3d to create a 3d scatter plot with surface. The graphic is created within the rgl package and I have used rgl.postscript to export it so I can generate a publication quality image. My problem is that the plotted surface is no longer transparent in the

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 all. It's been a long time since I wrote to this list. Glad to see the R project well and working. I am working with a 3D plot similar to this: http://old.nabble.com/file/p26525177/rgl-device.png rgl-device.png The underlying picture is a JPEG image, loaded with the rimage package and coerced to the matrix. Spheres denote control points, collected from this picture and must be

Hej, When exporting a image from rgl, the following error is encountered: > rgl.postscript('testing.pdf', fmt="pdf") RGL: ERROR: can't bind glx context to window RGL: ERROR: can't bind glx context to window Warning messages: 1: X11 protocol error: GLXBadContextState 2: X11 protocol error: GLXBadContextState The pdf file is created and is readable, but all the labels

Dears, I've been learning biplot (Gabriel, 1971) and I found the function 'biplot', inside of the package 'stats', useful but, a bit limited. So, I'm thinking to start a colaborative package to enhance this methods to other multivariate methods. In this way, I would like to start it, making public a new function (biplot.pca, still in development, but running) that make

*Summary*: The latest Windows binary version of rgl_081.708 from R-Forge has some problem that causes rgl.snapshot() to fail, at least on my system. Thereafter, *all* rgl 3D graphics are rendered without any text labels. The last problem remains even after (a) removing rgl and re-installing from CRAN, (b) re-starting with a fresh installation of all of R 2.7.2. *System*: Win XP Pro A vexing

Dear R-SIG-Fedora, I'm finding that on CentOS 7, rgl.snapshot (a function in the R package rgl, which provides an R interface to the OpenGL 3-d graphics library) only captures a small portion what's visible in the RGL device window. This does not happen with the same R and rgl versions on CentOS 5.3 (see details below). The maintainer of rgl, Duncan Murdoch, responded (see below) that

Doing a visual graphic and trying to make it "pretty" Here's simple chart to play with: library(rgl) dotframe<-data.frame(x=c(0,7,0,0,-7,0),y=c(0,0,7,0,0,-7),z=c(7,0,0,-7,0,0)) dotframe plot3d(dotframe$x,dotframe$y,dotframe$z, radius=3, type='s',col=c('red','green','blue','purple','orange','gray'), axes=FALSE, box=FALSE,

Hello, I tried to use rgl.snapshot and it failed. The error message was not very verbose: ====================== > > > plot3d( motion[[idx+2]], motion[[idx+1]], motion[[idx]] ) > rgl.snapshot(filename="/tmp/shot_01.png", fmt="png") [1] "failed" > ====================== There was a graphic created by rgl, but the snapshot was not created.

Tom, Bingo! I followed the instructions in the link below, which allowed me to install the nvidia driver, which fixed the original problem with rgl.snapshot. Thanks very much for all your help. I guess I'll file a bug in the CentOS Bug Tracker so that the nouveau driver might get fixed. I'll also post to R-help so someone with the same problem who only searches R-help and not this SIG

Dear Roger Koenker, I have had just the same problem (rgl.snapshot returns "failed") on my Fedora Core 6 system. It took me quite a while to figure out the solution, so I would like to post it here to make others' lives easier.

I've installed the rgl package on a Suse x86-64 machine (further details below) and it produces nice screen images. Unfortunately, rgl.snapshot attempts to make png files produces only the response "failed". For other graphics png() works fine, and capabilities indicates that it is there. If anyone has a suggestion of what might be explored at this point I'd be very

Hello, I very much enjoy rgl! But when converting the screen output to pdf using rgl.postscript I have encountered three problems: (1) I don't seem to have control over font sizes and point sizes (of added points) in the pdf output. I tried cex from "plot" but that does not have an effect. Initially I got some plots where fonts and especially points were far too small. But now

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
