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

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 all, Below is some code where I try to get plotmath symbols in an rgl plot. Duncan Murdoch kindly suggested to use a "sprite" for this. As you can see, on can get it to work, but my knowledge about grid and rgl is too limited to perfectly solve the problem. 1) As you can see (please rotate the plot a little bit so that (0,0,0) is "in front"), the quality of the .png

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))

Context: I have two or more rgl-based views of a given data set, perhaps fitting different models, or showing different things across views. I want to be able to hand-rotate, zoom, scale one view to something I like, and then show the other views with matching viewpoints and scaling. so that one could flip back/forth among graphs and see only the relevant differences. In 2D, all this usually

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 expeRts, I am a new user of rgl, below is my first trial to plot a simple function in 3d. I managed to put the axes in the right locations, but: (1) The xlab, ylab, and zlab arguments are ignored; how can I put in axes labels? (2) Since I removed the axes in persp3d() the viewport is too small; is it possible to keep the size of the viewport? (3) The box is not correctly drawn, there

I would like to create a 3d scatterplot that is interactive in the sense that I can spin it on its axes to better visualize some PCA results I have. What are the options in R? I've looked at RGL and perhaps it will suffice but it wasn't apparent from the documentation I found. Any demo scripts available for a package that will work? Mark -- Mark W.

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

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-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

Hi R users, Does anyone know how to change the size of 3d charts? I'm using surface3d in rgl package, opening a new window each time to display the chart. I want it so that the chart fills the whole window, because when I output it to png, I don't want all the white space around the chart (right now, i'm getting this white "border" around the chart because the chart is

I'm using the command below on an open3d() object to create a shaded cube. Changes to myScalingFactor do not effect changes in the size of the cube. What is the correct approach?

Hello R-users, I have downloaded and installed a binary version for Windows OS of ImageMagick (ImageMagick6.5.6-10-q16-windows-dll.exe), I have installed the rgl package and i've tried running the following example from ?movie3d() library(rgl) open3d() plot3d( cube3d(col="green") ) M <- par3d("userMatrix") play3d( par3dinterp( userMatrix=list(M,

I want to plot points with different colors to show different selections of points in a 3d plot. My problem is that if I plot a red point at a location where already a blue point was plotted, than the point is still blue. Is there a parameter or so which can be used to draw over a existing point? Example: > require(rgl) > open3d() > plot3d(a<-c(1,2,3,4,5),a,a,type="l",

Dear all, I have a question about the plotting of the dynamical orbit by using rgl. My code is as follows: open3d() par3d(cex=2) bg3d("white") for(i in 1:out.length){ ind<-which plot3d(x[1:i],y[1:i],out[,"z"][1:i],xlim=c(-10,10),ylim=c(-10,10),zlim=c(-10,10),col="red",cex=2) Sys.sleep(0.0001) } ,where x,y,out[,"z"] are the position of the object in

I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu Gutsy and, for the first time, am using a 64-bit installation. After failing miserably to install R from source, not a problem for me in the past with a 32-bit install, I went the route of using the Debian Etch build. This went smoothly, but I am unable to update my numerous R and BioConductor packages, getting non-zero exit status errors on each package. Is

Dear users, I'm trying to produce a 3d bar plot but the x and y dimensions have categorical data -- so I only want 3 points on each axis. So I try: require(scatterplot3d) mymat<-data.frame( x=c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3), y=c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3), z=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)) scatterplot3d(mymat, type="h", lwd=5, pch=" ", xlab="xlabel",

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
