draw.tilted.sector: Display a 3D pie sector

In plotrix: Various Plotting Functions

Display a 3D pie sector

Description

Displays a 3D pie sector.

Usage

 draw.tilted.sector(x=0,y=0,edges=NA,radius=1,height=0.1,theta=pi/6,
  start=0,end=pi*2,border=par("fg"),col=par("bg"),explode=0,shade=0.8)

Arguments

x,y	Position of the center of the pie sector in user units
edges	Number of edges to draw a complete ellipse
radius	the radius of the pie in user units
height	the height of the pie in user units
theta	The angle of viewing in radians
start	Starting angle of the sector
end	Ending angle of the sector
border	The color of the sector border lines
col	Color of the sector
explode	How far to "explode" the sectors in user units
shade	If > 0 and < 1, the proportion to reduce the brightness of the sector color to get a better 3D effect.

Details

‘⁠draw.tilted.sector⁠’ displays a single 3D pie sector. It is probably only useful when called from pie3D. The ‘⁠shade⁠’ argument proportionately reduces the brightness of the RGB color of the sector to produce a top lighted effect.

If ‘⁠explode⁠’ is zero, only the top and outer side of each sector will be displayed. This will sometimes fix the problem of a pie with one huge sector greater than 3*pi/2 that cannot otherwise be drawn.

Value

The bisector of the pie sector in radians.
