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,

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 <-

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

Two questions related to creating animated movies with rgl: 1. I've created an rgl scene with 5 different views I want to display in a movie, but I'd like to insert pauses (say, 5 seconds) at each view. How can I do this? I first created 5 userMatrix's, then play3d( par3dinterp( userMatrix=list(M1, M2, M3, M4, M5)), ,duration=2*60/5) ) then tried simply repeating each twice,

Dear list, I would like to know how the function residuals.lm calculates the partial residuals from an lm object with more than one predictor variable. In other words what is residuals.lm(...,type="partial") doing behind the scenes? According to the help file for residuals.lm (?residuals.lm), "The partial residuals are a matrix with each column formed by omitting a term from

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))

Hi, I am looking for a R package to draw 3d plot. But not in a static way like scatterplot3d or stuff like that. I would like to make rotate the plot, to zoom/unzoom etc..., actually to render the graph 'dynamic'... (for the biologist and bioinformatician, a R package which permitts to reproduce what pdb viewer does). Does a Way exist to do something like that in R ? Thanks,

Dear list, I gave up trying to fix my movie3d (rgl library) issue in my PC (completely black gif/png file) and went ahead and installed MacPorts and ImageMagick onto my iMac (OSX ver 10.6.8). I think ImageMagick is successfully installed in its default location (under /opt/local), and I ran movie3d but I get the following error: Error in system("convert --version", intern = TRUE) : ?

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

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 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))

Dear Users: I wish to save 3d scatter plots I have generated using the plot3d command in the rgl package. Any image format such as .tiff would work. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Duncan, I've just read the help for the plot3d function you've written and tried out the example code given at the bottom of the page. I then modified the function by adding an aspect ratio of 0.1 and ran it again, which crashed my R. I am using 2.12.2 on Windows, if that tells you anything. Best wishes, Roman

I've just posted a demo made with the rgl package to Youtube, visible here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prdZWQD7L5c For future reference, here are the steps I used: 1. Design a shape to be displayed, and then play with the animation functions to make it change over time. Use play3d to do it live in R, movie3d to write the individual frames of the movie to .png files. 2. Use the

Hello, I did some nice grafics using plot 3d and scatter3d. Is there a, hopefully not too complicated way, to transform these dynamic, three-dimensional and interactive grafics in a kind of executable file? I want to show and send them via e-mail to projekt partners who don`t use GNU R and who are not used to do programming. So the result should be quite comfortable to execute for them in

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:

Hi all, I've been using the 'rgl' package to visualise in 3d the water temperature recorded by a glider deployed off the coast of Australia (see snapshot attached). Using the writeWebGL function, I'm able to produce an html file of the scene with which I can then interact (e.g. zoom in/out, rotate) in my web browser. In R, I have created another scene that includes a loop

I have just started using the package 'rgl' to explore my data as a 3D scatterplot. It's a great tool. But I would like to be able to save some graph views and it appears the only format available is 'png' and it doesn't look that nice. It is excellent to work with on screen and explore/play, but when it comes to producing a good quality graphic I'm a bit

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, I'm using the rgl package and plotting a plot with it. I'd like to have all the axes values auto-hide, but I want to plot a series of characters instead of the values of the measurement for 2 of the axes. So in the end I will have one axis (z actually) behave per normal (auto-hide) and I'd like the other two axes to be custom character vectors that auto-hide. Example: x <-
