Arguments

lang	character. Language of the interface, one of 'de' (German), 'en' (English), 'es' (Spanish), 'fr' (French), 'it' (Italian), 'pt' (Portuguese), 'ro' (Romanian).
set.theme	character. Name of the shinytheme to use.
square.size	integer. Size (width and height) in centimeter of the squares in the grid system. Default value is 100 cm.
rotation	integer. Value (degrees) for the in-plane rotation of the point cloud.
grid.orientation	numerical. Orientation (degrees, positive or negative) of the grid (0 corresponds to a north orientation).
unit	character. Unit for spatial distances. One of 'cm', 'm', 'km'.
background.map	data frame or matrix. Coordinates to draw background lines in 3D and Map plots.
reverse.axis.values	character. Name of the axis or axes to be reversed (any combination of 'x', 'y', 'z').
reverse.square.names	character. Name of the axis or axes for which to reverse the order of the square labels (any combination of 'x', 'y', 'z').
add.x.square.labels	character. Additional square labels for the 'x' axis.
add.y.square.labels	character. Additional square labels for the 'y' axis.
class.variable	character. At the launch of the app, name of the variable to preselect.
class.values	character. At the launch of the app, names of the values to preselect.
default.group	character. At the launch of the app, preselection of the variable used to group data (one of 'by.layer' or 'by.variable').
location.mode	character. At the launch of the app, preselection of the location methods (any combination of 'exact', 'fuzzy', 'show.uncertainty').
map.z.val	double. Minimal and maximal Z depth coordinates values to display in the map plot, e.g. c(0, 30).
map.density	character. At the launch of the app, whether to compute and show density contours in the map plot (one of 'no', 'overall', 'by.variable').

plot3d.surfaces	logical. At the launch of the app, whether to compute and show regression in the 3D plot.
plot3d.refits	logical. At the launch of the app, whether to show refits on the 3D section plot.
point.size	integer. At the launch of the app, size of the points in the plots.
sectionX.x.val	double. At the launch of the app, minimal and maximal X coordinates values to display in the X section plot, e.g. c(10, 20).
sectionX.y.val	double. At the launch of the app, minimal and maximal Y coordinates values to display in the X section plot, e.g. c(10, 20).
sectionX.refits	logical. At the launch of the app, whether to show refits in the X section plot.

camera.center	double. In 3D plot, x,y,z coordinates of the point to which the camera is oriented, to pass to the 'plotly::layout()' function. Default value: c(x=0, y=0, z=0).
camera.eye	double. In 3D plot, x,y,z coordinates of the camera's view point, to pass to the 'plotly::layout()' function. Default value: c(x=1.25, y=1.25, z=1.25).

table.export	logical. Allow or disallow data transfer to third-party applications.

Details

This function launches the 'archeoViz' application. It can be used without parameter, allowing the user to input data through the "Input data" tab. Alternatively, the 'objects.df' parameter, and the optional 'refits.df' and 'timeline.df' parameters, can be used to input data.frames about the archaeological objects, the refitting relationships between these objects, and the chronology of the excavation, respectively.

The aspect of the application can be modified using the 'title', 'home.text', and 'set.theme' parameters. Possible values for the 'set.theme' parameter includes the allowed values for the 'shinytheme()' function (i.e., "cerulean", "cosmo", "cyborg", "darkly", "flatly", "journal", "lumen", "paper", "readable", "sandstone", "simplex", "slate", "spacelab", "superhero", "united", "yeti").

Note that the 'SEAHORS' package includes interactive features to format a dataset in 'archeoViz' format, export it or send it to an online 'archeoViz' instance.

Value

Launch the 'archeoViz' Shiny application.
