Create an 3D Skin for Interpreting qPLM Overview Images

Description

qPLMSphereSkinner creates a skin image for placing colatitude (theta) and longitude (phi) on a sphere (e.g., in Adobe Illustrator).

Usage

qPLMSphereSkinner(pixel.size, theta.max)

Arguments

pixel.size	Dimension in pixels for square output image.
theta.max	Maximum value of theta. Used when the qPLM object to interpret has a truncated theta range–take this value directly from the "theta.max" attribute of the qPLM object.

Details

the .tiff image produced by this function can be used to skin a hemispherical object for inclusion in 3D-modeled figures.

Value

Silent return in R. Saves an image with the name "x_pixel_skin.tif" where x is the value of pixel.size, and displays the image to a browser window.
