Description

This function overplots the Galactic plane on the default Equatorial coordinates, and optionally will add the Galactic centre.

Usage

rgl.sphMW(radius = 1, col = "purple", type = "s", MWcenrad = 0.02, addMWplane = TRUE)

Arguments

radius	The radius at which to draw the Galactic plane and Galactic centre.
col	The colour of the Galactic plane line and the Galactic centre.
type	Rgl plot type for the Galactic centre, default is to draw it as a 3D sphere, i.e. type 's'.
