setUserCallbacks: Set mouse callbacks in R or Javascript code

In rgl: 3D Visualization Using OpenGL

Set mouse callbacks in R or Javascript code

Description

This function sets user mouse callbacks in R or rglwidget displays.

Usage

setUserCallbacks(button, 
                 begin = NULL, 
                 update = NULL, 
                 end = NULL, 
                 rotate = NULL,
                 javascript = NULL, 
                 subscene = scene$rootSubscene$id,
                 scene = scene3d(minimal = FALSE),
                 applyToScene = TRUE,
			           applyToDev = missing(scene))

Arguments

button	Which button should this callback apply to? Can be numeric from 0:4, or character from "none", "left", "right", "center", "wheel".
begin, update, end, rotate	Functions to call when events occur. See Details.
javascript	Optional block of Javascript code to be included (at the global level).
subscene	Which subscene do these callbacks apply to?
scene	Which scene?
applyToScene	Should these changes apply to the scene object?
applyToDev	Should these changes apply to the current device?

Details

If applyToScene is TRUE, this function adds Javascript callbacks to the scene object. If applyToDev is TRUE, it adds R callbacks to the current RGL device.

For Javascript, the callbacks are specified as strings; these will be evaluated within the browser in the global context to define the functions, which will then be called with the Javascript this object set to the current rglwidgetClass object.

For R, they may be strings or R functions.

Both options may be TRUE, in which case the callbacks must be specified as strings which are both valid Javascript and valid R. The usual way to do this is to give just a function name, with the function defined elsewhere, as in the Example below.

The begin and update functions should be of the form function(x, y) { ... }. The end function will be called with no arguments.

The rotate callback can only be set on the mouse wheel. It is called when the mouse wheel is rotated. It should be of the form function(away), where away will be 1 while rotating the wheel “away” from you, and 2 while rotating it towards you. If rotate is not set but other callbacks are set on the wheel “button”, then each click of the mouse wheel will trigger all start, update, then end calls in sequence.

The javascript argument is an optional block of code which will be evaluated once during the initialization of the widget. It can define functions and assign them as members of the window object, and then the names of those functions can be given in the callback arguments; this allows the callbacks to share information.

Value

Invisibly returns an rglScene object. This object will record the changes if applyToScene is TRUE.

If applyToDev is TRUE, it will also have the side effect of attempting to install the callbacks using rgl.setMouseCallbacks and rgl.setWheelCallback.
