arrow_mesh: Arrow 3D Model

In rayvertex: 3D Software Rasterizer

Arrow 3D Model

Description

Arrow 3D Model

Usage

arrow_mesh(
  start = c(0, 0, 0),
  end = c(0, 1, 0),
  radius_top = 0.5,
  radius_tail = 0.25,
  tail_proportion = 0.5,
  direction = NA,
  from_center = TRUE,
  material = material_list()
)

Arguments

start	Default c(0, 0, 0). Base of the arrow, specifying x, y, z.
end	Default c(0, 1, 0). Tip of the arrow, specifying x, y, z.
radius_top	Default 0.5. Radius of the top of the arrow.
radius_tail	Default 0.2. Radius of the tail of the arrow.
tail_proportion	Default 0.5. Proportion of the arrow that is the tail.
direction	Default NA. Alternative to start and end, specify the direction (via a length-3 vector) of the arrow. Arrow will be centered at start, and the length will be determined by the magnitude of the direction vector.
from_center	Default TRUE. If orientation specified via direction, setting this argument to FALSE will make start specify the bottom of the cone, instead of the middle.
material	Default material_list() (default values). Specify the material of the object.

Value

List describing the mesh.
