isocubeGrob: Isometric cube grob

In affiner: A Finer Way to Render 3D Illustrated Objects in 'grid' Using Affine Transformations

Isometric cube grob

Description

isometricCube() is a grid grob function to render isometric cube faces by automatically wrapping around affineGrob().

Usage

isocubeGrob(
  top,
  right,
  left,
  gp_border = grid::gpar(col = "black", lwd = 12),
  name = NULL,
  gp = grid::gpar(),
  vp = NULL
)

grid.isocube(...)

Arguments

top	A grid grob object to use as the top side of the cube. ggplot2 objects will be coerced by ggplot2::ggplotGrob().
right	A grid grob object to use as the right side of the cube. ggplot2 objects will be coerced by ggplot2::ggplotGrob().
left	A grid grob object to use as the left side of the cube. ggplot2 objects will be coerced by ggplot2::ggplotGrob().
gp_border	A grid::gpar() object for the polygonGrob() used to draw borders around the cube faces.
name	A character identifier (for grid).
gp	A grid::gpar() object.
vp	A grid::viewport() object (or NULL).
...	Passed to isocubeGrob()

Details

Any ggplot2 objects are coerced to grobs by ggplot2::ggplotGrob(). Depending on what you'd like to do you may want to instead manually convert a ggplot2 object gg to a grob with gtable::gtable_filter(ggplot2::ggplotGrob(gg), "panel").

Not all graphics devices provided by grDevices or other R packages support the affine transformation feature introduced in R 4.2. If isTRUE(getRversion() >= '4.2.0') then the active graphics device should support this feature if isTRUE(grDevices::dev.capabilities()$transformations). In particular the following graphics devices should support the affine transformation feature:

• R's grDevices::pdf() device

• R's 'cairo' devices e.g. grDevices::cairo_pdf(), grDevices::png(type = 'cairo'), grDevices::svg(), grDevices::x11(type = 'cairo'), etc. If isTRUE(capabilities('cairo')) then R was compiled with support for the 'cairo' devices .

• R's 'quartz' devices (since R 4.3.0) e.g. grDevices::quartz(), grDevices::png(type = 'quartz'), etc. If isTRUE(capabilities('aqua')) then R was compiled with support for the 'quartz' devices (generally only TRUE on macOS systems).

• ragg's devices (since v1.3.0) e.g. ragg::agg_png(), ragg::agg_capture(), etc.

Value

A grid::gTree() (grob) object of class "isocube". As a side effect grid.isocube() draws to the active graphics device.
