Hello, in a three dimensional coordinate system, I'd like to find all my experimental data points that fall within an ellipsoid around a fixed coordinate. The fixed point is defined by (x.coord.point, y.coord.point, z.coord.point). The coordinates of the ellipsoid are given by the three vectors x,y,z. In a previous version of my code, I simply used a box instead of an ellipsoid to sort

(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've just put together a test build of rgl, and put it on my web site as http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/rgl_0.70.564.tar.gz (source) and

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

Hi, I'd like to construct a somewhat unusual barplot. In "barplot" I use beside=F as I'd like to have stacked bars. The height of each bar is always the same. Information in my plot is coded in the color of the bar. I therefore need to be able so assign a different combination (or order) of colors to each individual stacked bar. In the example below, the combination of

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,

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

Hello, I would like to use R to process a list of text strings. The text strings are filenames, encoding experimental settings. Based on the information in there I'd like to select certain files and copy only the selected files to another directory. The files are images and there is no need, actually no desire, to open them. Is there a way to use R for copying and pasting files with any

Hello, in the data.frame "resultsfuzzy" I would like to replace the characters in the second column ("5a", "5b", ... "5e") with numbers from 1 to 5. The data.frame has 39150 entries. I seems to work on samples that are << nrow(resultsfuzzy) but it takes suspicously long. Do you have any suggestions how to make the character replacing more

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

Hello, I would like to remove the last 8 digists of character strings in a vector. Below I added a couple of elements from that vector. I have a problem defining a pattern to replace the digits using for example "sub". Removing the ".tif" part works fine using sub('.tif',"",x), but how do I get rid of the four preceding digits? Thanks for your help, Kim

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 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

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

Hello, I have a time series of data as a data.frame. Occasionally there is one or more days missing (e.g. data available for days 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 --> missing days between 4 and 8). The experimental time information can be found in the 2nd column of "data". I would like to have a continuous time line with one time point per day. Therefore I try to insert lines for the missing

Hi, I am having an issue when creating a postscript file from RGL window. It seems to cut off some of the axis labels. Here is the code I am using. I created a 3D plot using RGL_0.71 with R 2.5 on Windows XP. z1<-c(5,4,1,4.5,2,3,2,1,1) z2<-c(6,8,7,7.5,5,3.5,4,1,1) z3<-c(3,2,4,7,3,4.5,6,2,3) x1<-seq(1,9) x2<-seq(1,9) x3<-seq(10,18) y1<-seq(8,0) y2<--1*y1

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)

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

Thank you for your work on rgl. Reading in another thread about your new (inofficial) version of rgl (see below) I tried it with R version 2.5.0 alpha (2007-03-31 r40986) under FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT. Unfortunately I got the following error: ------- #R CMD INSTALL rgl_0.70.570.tar.gz * Installing to library '/usr/local/lib/R/library' * Installing *source* package 'rgl' ...

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
