plot3D.cube: Cube Object Interactive 3D Plot

In cubing: Rubik's Cube Solving

Description

Plots an interactive 3D representation of a cube object using OpenGL.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cube'
plot3D(x, colvec = getOption("cubing.colors"), recolor = FALSE, 
   bg = grey(0.8), rand.col = FALSE, size = 0.98, col.interior = grey(0.5), 
   al.interior = 0.4, al.exterior = 1, rinit = 30, bbox = TRUE, bbcolor = 
   "#333377", bbemission = "#333377", bbspecular = "#3333FF", bbshininess = 
   5, bbalpha = 0.5, ...)

Arguments

x	Any cube object.
colvec	Vector of sticker colors. The default is the cubing.colors option.
recolor	If TRUE, previous rotations are ignored and therefore the cube is recolored.
bg	Background color.
rand.col	If TRUE then sticker colors are chosen at random and colvec is ignored.
size	Size of the individual cubies. Must be less than one. Values closer to one give cubes that look stickerless because the gap between cubies decreases. Smaller sizes give exploded cubes.
col.interior	Color of the cube interior.
al.interior	Alpha value of cube interior.
al.exterior	Alpha value of cube exterior.
rinit	The initial plot is rotated rinit degrees about the z-axis.
bbox	Use a bounding box?
bbcolor	Bounding box parameter.
bbemission	Bounding box parameter.
bbspecular	Bounding box parameter.
bbshininess	Bounding box parameter.
bbalpha	Bounding box parameter.
...	Other parameters to be passed through to plotting functions.

Details

This function uses the R package rgl which is an interface to OpenGL. The cube can be rotated using a mouse. See the documentation for the rgl package to explore the large number of options available.

The animate function also uses the rgl package to produce cubing animations.
