Plot a polygon.

Plot a polygon.

Usage

plotPolygon3D(
  pts,
  useShade = TRUE,
  useLines = FALSE,
  usePoints = FALSE,
  useFrame = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

pts

Vertices.

useShade

Plot shade of the polygon.

useLines

Plot lines inside the polygon.

usePoints

Plot point shapes inside the polygon.

useFrame

Plot a frame around the polygon.

...

Further arguments passed on the RGL plotting functions. This must be done as lists (see examples). Currently the following arguments are supported:

• argsShade: A list of arguments for rgl::polygon3d (n > 4 vertices), rgl::triangles3d() (n = 3 vertices) and rgl::quads3d() (n = 4 vertices) if useShade = TRUE.

• argsFrame: A list of arguments for rgl::lines3d if useFrame = TRUE.

• argsPoints: A list of arguments for rgl::shade3d if usePoints = TRUE. It is important to give a texture using texture. A texture can be set using getTexture().

• argsLines: A list of arguments for rgl::persp3d() when useLines = TRUE. Moreover, the list may contain lines: number of lines.

Value

Object ids (invisible).

Examples

# \donttest{
pts <- data.frame(x = c(1,0,0,0.4), y = c(0,1,0,0.3), z = c(0,0,1,0.3))
pts <- data.frame(x = c(1,0,0), y = c(0,1,0), z = c(0,0,1))
