In molaR: Dental Surface Complexity Measurement Tools

Plot 2D footprint and footprint triangle points to check for erros in 2D calculation

Description

This function will plot the points used for the 2D footprint area calculation. This is meant to be a visual checking mechanism to ensure that there are no 'extra' triangles within the footprint erroneously adding to the total 2D area of the footprint. If a user finds extra points within the boundaries of the footprint, they should assume that the alpha value used for the RFI calculation was too small, and they are getting a 2D footprint calculation which was too large.

Usage

Check2D(RFI_Output, FootColor = "red", TriPointsColor = "black")

Arguments

RFI_Output	An object that stores the output of the RFI function
FootColor	changes color of the 2D surface footprint
TriPointsColor	color for the points of the footprint triangles

Examples

RFI_output <- RFI(Tooth, alpha=0.5)
Check2D(RFI_output)
