globe: Visualize a globe using RGL

In inlabru: Bayesian Latent Gaussian Modelling using INLA and Extensions

Visualize a globe using RGL

Description

Creates a textured sphere and lon/lat coordinate annotations. This function requires the rgl and sphereplot packages.

Usage

globe(
  R = 1,
  R.grid = 1.05,
  specular = "black",
  axes = FALSE,
  box = FALSE,
  xlab = "",
  ylab = "",
  zlab = ""
)

Arguments

R	Radius of the globe
R.grid	Radius of the annotation sphere.
specular	Light color of specular effect.
axes	If TRUE, plot x, y and z axes.
box	If TRUE, plot a box around the globe.
xlab, ylab, zlab	Axes labels

Value

No value, used for plotting side effect.

Examples

if (interactive() &&
    require("rgl", quietly = TRUE) &&
    require("sphereplot", quietly = TRUE) &&
    bru_safe_sp() &&
    require("sp")) {
  # Show the globe
  globe()

  # Load pantropoical dolphin data
  mexdolphin <- inlabru::mexdolphin_sp()

  # Add mesh, ship transects and dolphin sightings stored
  # as inla.mesh, SpatialLines and SpatialPoints objects, respectively

  glplot(mexdolphin$mesh, alpha = 0.2)
  glplot(mexdolphin$samplers, lwd = 5)
  glplot(mexdolphin$points, size = 10)
}
