snap: Take a snapshot of the current 3D plot

In gmonette/p3d: Plot 3d Data and Fitted Surfaces

Take a snapshot of the current 3D plot

Description

snap is designed as a more convenient interface to rgl.snapshot, allowing one to set a base filename for graphic output files, an initial sequence number, and then just use

snap()

to capture the current screen image to a sequentially numbered output file.

Usage

snap(n = 0, fn = "Movie" ,  suffix = "", inc = TRUE, fmt = "png")

Arguments

n	Initial suffix number used to construct the file name.
suffix	Character string appended to paste(fn, n), for use in naming a related collection of figures (without incrementing n.
fn	Base file name with rgl.cur() appended. Can be set with Plot3d.par(snap.fn="File").
inc	Should the function increment the sequential number in the global environment?
fmt	Output graphic file format. Default: png

Details

Output files are written to the current directory. Use fn to put them in a sub-directory.

Value

Returns invisibly the name of the snapshot file
