bricks_from_coords: Create a 3D model object from a long coordinate data frame

In brickr: Emulate LEGO Bricks in 2D and 3D

Description

Convert a data frame with x, y, z & Color columns into a 3D object

Usage

bricks_from_coords(
  coord_table,
  use_bricks = NULL,
  increment_level = 0,
  min_level = 1,
  max_level = Inf,
  increment_x = 0,
  max_x = Inf,
  increment_y = 0,
  max_y = Inf,
  exclude_color = NULL,
  exclude_level = NULL
)

Arguments

coord_table	A data frame of a 3D brick model design. Contains 'x', 'y', and 'z' (vertical height) dimensions, as well as 'Color' from official LEGO color names. See build_colors. Optional column 'piece_type' for shapes other than rectangular bricks. Optional column ' mid_Level' with values 0, 1, or 2 (default 0) for 1-height placement of bricks.
use_bricks	Array of brick sizes to use in mosaic. Defaults to c('4x2', '3x2', '2x2', '3x1', '2x1', '1x1')'.
increment_level	Default '0'. Use in animations. Shift Level/z dimension by an integer.
min_level	Default '1'. Use in animations. Any Level/z values below this value will be cut off.
max_level	Default 'Inf'. Use in animations. Any Level/z values above this value will be cut off.
increment_x	Default '0'. Use in animations. Shift x dimension by an integer.
max_x	Default 'Inf'. Use in animations. Any x values above this value will be cut off.
increment_y	Default '0'. Use in animations. Shift y dimension by an integer.
max_y	Default 'Inf'. Use in animations. Any y values above this value will be cut off.
exclude_color	Numeric array of color ID numbers to exclude.
exclude_level	Numeric array of Level/z dimensions to exclude.

Value

A list with elements Img_lego to pass to build_bricks.

Examples

#This is a 1x4 yellow brick
brick <- data.frame(
        x = 1:4,
        y = 1, z=1,
        color = "Bright yellow", 
        stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

brick %>% 
  bricks_from_coords() %>% 
  build_bricks()
  
  rgl::clear3d()
  
#This is a lot of bricks
bricks <- expand.grid(
x = 1:4,
y = 1:2,
z = 1:3)

#Color them in sets of these 3 options
bricks$color <- rep(rep(c("Bright yellow", "Bright red", "Tr. green"), each=4), 2)


bricks %>% 
  bricks_from_coords() %>% 
  build_bricks()
  
  rgl::clear3d()
  
  
#Use different brick shapes by added a 'piece_type' column
bricks$piece_type <- "c1" #Make all the pieces cylinders


bricks %>% 
  bricks_from_coords() %>% 
  build_bricks()
  
  rgl::clear3d()
