scalemesh: scale a mesh of class "mesh3d"

In Morpho: Calculations and Visualisations Related to Geometric Morphometrics

scale a mesh of class "mesh3d"

Description

scales (the vertices of a mesh by a scalar

Usage

scalemesh(mesh, size, center = c("bbox", "mean", "none"))

Arguments

mesh	object of class "mesh3d"
size	numeric: scale factor
center	character: method to position center of mesh after scaling: values are "bbox", and "mean". See Details for more info.

Details

The mesh's center is determined either as mean of the bounding box (center="bbox") or mean of vertex coordinates (center="mean") and then scaled according to the scaling factor. If center="none", vertex coordinates will simply be multiplied by "size".

Value

returns a scaled mesh
