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))

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

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

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:

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 have been experiencing an odd error with the RGL package that I cannot figure out. I have searched without luck for fixes to this problem on Rseek, Google, and the R-help-list. RGL used to work on my machine about a month ago. It was a very useful tool. The graphics device will not initialize now, and I cannot figure out why. When I try to load the package using ... >

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 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

(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

Hi all! I'm very new to R, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to go from a file of points that I have to a 3d surface plot of the data. I typically have something like this: X Y Z 0.005 0.023 34.45 0.0035 0.63 28.48 . I've tried looking at the persp and wireframe packages, and the rgl package, but I can't seem to figure out how to

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, 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 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'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 try to execute the seven lines of code below to plot a graph. But I am failing as the messages below show.

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 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.

Dear List, I'm trying to draw vector in XYZ with rgl under use of a cylinder3d. Therefore I scale and rotate a basis-cylinder). However, somehow the rotation is wrong as verified by overplotting arrow3d(). Where is my mistake? library(heplots) library(rgl) # ... 2 vectors data=data.frame(row.names=c('X','Y','Z'), x1=c(2,1,5),y=c(4,3,2))

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",
