surface3js: Add a surface to an data3js object

In r3js: 'WebGL'-Based 3D Plotting using the 'three.js' Library

Add a surface to an data3js object

Description

This function behaves very similarly to the surface3d function in the rgl package, although the handling of NA values are handled differently.

Usage

surface3js(
  data3js,
  x,
  y,
  z,
  col = "black",
  mat,
  wireframe = FALSE,
  highlight,
  ...
)

Arguments

data3js	The data3js object
x	Values corresponding to rows of z, or matrix of x coordinates
y	Values corresponding to the columns of z, or matrix of y coordinates
z	Matrix of heights
col	The color of the surface as either a single value, vector or matrix.
mat	The material to use when drawing the matrix, for a solid surface the default is "phong", for a wireframe the default is "line".
wireframe	Logical value for if the surface should be displayed as a mesh
highlight	highlight attributes (see highlight3js())
...	Material and texture properties. See material3js()

Value

Returns an updated data3js object

Examples

# volcano example taken from "persp"
z <- 2 * volcano        # Exaggerate the relief
x <- 10 * (1:nrow(z))   # 10 meter spacing (S to N)
y <- 10 * (1:ncol(z))   # 10 meter spacing (E to W)

zlim <- range(z)
zlen <- zlim[2] - zlim[1] + 1

colorlut <- terrain.colors(zlen) # height color lookup table
col <- colorlut[ z - zlim[1] + 1 ] # assign colors to heights for each point

p <- plot3js(
  xlim = range(x),
  ylim = range(y),
  zlim = range(z),
  label_axes = FALSE,
  aspect = c(1, 1, 1) # Maintain a constant aspect ratio
)

p <- surface3js(
  data3js = p,
  x, y, z,
  col = col
)

r3js(
  data3js = p,
  rotation = c(-1.15, 0, -0.65),
  zoom = 1.5
)
