lg3d.close: Livegraphics3D output device system

In vrmlgen: Generate 3D visualizations for data exploration on the web

Description

lg3d.close terminates a Livegraphics3D-environment and writes the corresponding 3D-scene to a Livegraphics3D-file.

Usage

lg3d.close()

Details

This function closes a Livegraphics3D-environment created with lg3d.open() and writes the Livegraphics3D-plot to the file and directory specified in the lg3d.open- parameters. For more details, see the description of the lg3d.open- function.

Value

The function is used for its side-effect (output of a Livegraphics3D-file in the specified directory) and has no return value.
