Hej, Calling newuoa (from the minqa package) makes R crash when the package rgl is loaded first. This however only on certain selected data. The data used for testing (saved to 'bugs.R'): xvals = c(1,2,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,18,19,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36) yvals =

Hej, When plotting triangles with rgl.triangles and setting the axes afterwards with decorate3d(aspect=TRUE), the axes get the color used for the last triangle plotted. Example: rgl.triangles(c(1,2,3),c(1,2,5),c(1,3,2),col="#55FF55") decorate3d(aspect=TRUE) Using decorate3d(aspect=TRUE,col="#000000") or decorate3d(aspect=TRUE,color="#000000") does not help,

Hi everyone, I want to plot a 3D interpolation of the concentration of aquatic organisms. My goal would be to have the result represented as clouds with a density proportional to the abundance of organisms, so that I could fly (well, swim actually ;) ) through the scene and see the patches here and there. Basically, I want to do something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27mo_Y-aU-c but

Dear R list I am using rgl.sphere to visualize scatter plot data in three dimensional space. Thanks to the rgl library, I can easily find out the data point that I am interested in. However, as I can not see the labels of each data point directly in RGL window, I usually look for the values of x, y, z axis to find out the label (or line number of the data point). Is there any way that I

I'm trying to install rgl 0.71 on a redhat enterprise 4, x86_64. I have tried using R 2.2.1, 2.3.1, and 2.5.0. I have successfully installed this version of rgl, using R 2.2.1 on an rhel4 i386 host. On the x86_64 host, I receive the following configuration error: checking GL/gl.h usability... no checking GL/gl.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: GL/gl.h: present but cannot be

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

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

Hi, I am applying the following code to map pca loadings onto a 3d grid, my problem is this - the output only plots the spheres in the requested color (in this case "red") for the first argument. The sphere from the second argument appear as flat dark circles. Also the text3d() command only seems to work for a couple of the positions, with no text added in most cases. Could anyone offer

Hi, I'm using rgl to generate a 3D surface plot and I'm struggling to get the lighting correct. Currently the surface gets plotted, but is very 'shiny'. On rotating the view, I get to see parts of the surface - but overall I don't see much detail because of the spotlight like lighting. I've played around with the specular, ambient and diffuse but I can't

hi, i want to draw a simple circle by using 3d package RGL. i think i can use the command rgl.lines by studying the code from: http://www.swiftless.com/tutorials/opengl/circle.html but is there a faster and easier way to do it?? graham -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/RGL-Drawing-Circle-tp4278717p4278717.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Hi, I'm trying to make sense of the image3d plots in misc3d. Unfortunately I can't find any authors on the help pages of the function to e-mail directly. In the following toy example, I'm puzzled as to why (1) the positions of the image plot on the axes include negative values when I think I've specified all to be 1:3 and (2) the logic that needs to be adhered to in order to

I am trying to figure out how to use rgl package for animation. It appears that this is done using the play3d() function. Below I have some sample code that plots a 3D path and puts a sphere at the point farthest from the origin (which in this case also appears to be at the end of the path). What I would like to do is animate the movement of another sphere along the length of the path

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

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

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

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)

Dear Daniel (and Duncan): back in January you reported that you were having trouble saving an rgl movie on Vista. I don't know if you ever got that resolved, but a student of mine is now having a similar problem, not specific to dynamic graphics (which would have to be a problem outside of rgl anyway). He may report more on the symptoms, but essentially rgl.snapshot produces black or funky

Hi the list, I use rgl to produce a 3D graph. I would like to "show" this graph to some collaborator. Is there a way to save it and send it to someone else? Christophe Genolini

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'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
