render_floating_overlay: Render Floating overlay

In rayshader: Create Maps and Visualize Data in 2D and 3D

Render Floating overlay

Description

Render a 2D floating overlay over the map.

Note: Multiple layers with transparency can cause rendering issues in rgl.

Usage

render_floating_overlay(
  overlay = NULL,
  altitude = NULL,
  heightmap = NULL,
  zscale = 1,
  alpha = 1,
  baseshape = "rectangle",
  remove_na = TRUE,
  reorient = TRUE,
  clear_layers = FALSE,
  horizontal_offset = c(0, 0),
  ...
)

Arguments

overlay	Overlay (4D RGBA array) to be rendered on the 3D map.
altitude	Altitude to place the overlay.
heightmap	The underlying surface. A two-dimensional matrix, where each entry in the matrix is the elevation at that point.
zscale	Default '1'. The ratio between the x and y spacing (which are assumed to be equal) and the z axis. For example, if the elevation levels are in units of 1 meter and the grid values are separated by 10 meters, 'zscale' would be 10. Adjust the zscale down to exaggerate elevation features.
alpha	Default ‘1'. Multiplies the layer’s transparency by this factor. 0 is completely transparent.
baseshape	Default 'rectangle'. Shape of the overlay. Options are 'c("rectangle", "circle", "hex")'.
remove_na	Default 'TRUE'. Whether to make the overlay transparent above empty spaces (represented by 'NA' values) in the underlying elevation matrix.
reorient	Default 'TRUE'. Whether to reorient the image array to match the 3D plot.
clear_layers	Default 'FALSE'. Clears all existing floating layers on the visualization.
horizontal_offset	Default 'c(0,0)'. Distance (in 3D space) to offset the floating offset in the x/y directions.
...	Additional arguments to pass to 'rgl::triangles3d()'.

Value

Adds a 3D floating layer to the map. No return value.

Examples

if(run_documentation()) {
#Render the road network as a floating overlay layer, along with a label annotation and a floating
#point annotation
if(all(length(find.package("sf", quiet = TRUE)) > 0,
      length(find.package("magick", quiet = TRUE)) > 0)) {
 monterey = c(-121.892933,36.603053)
 monterey_city = sf::st_sfc(sf::st_point(monterey))
 
 #Generate Overlays
 road_overlay = generate_line_overlay(monterey_roads_sf, attr(montereybay,"extent"), 
                                      heightmap = montereybay)
 point_overlay = generate_point_overlay(monterey_city, color="red", size=12,
                                        attr(montereybay,"extent"), heightmap = montereybay)
                                        
 #Create 3D plot (water transparency set to 1 because multiple transparency layers can interfere)
 montereybay |>
   height_shade() |>
   add_shadow(ray_shade(montereybay,zscale=50),0.3) |> 
   plot_3d(montereybay, water = T, wateralpha = 1, windowsize = 800, watercolor = "lightblue")
 render_camera(theta=-55,phi=45,zoom=0.8)
 
 #Render label
 render_label(montereybay, lat = monterey[2], long = monterey[1], altitude = 9900,
              extent = attr(montereybay, "extent"),
              zscale = 50, text = "Monterey", textcolor = "black", linecolor="darkred")
 
 #Render Floating Overlays
 render_floating_overlay(road_overlay, altitude = 10000,zscale = 50)
 render_floating_overlay(point_overlay, altitude = 100,zscale = 50)
 render_snapshot()
}
