movieSpin3d: Create a movie by rotating a 3D rgl scene.

In tsieger/tsiMisc: Miscelaneous utility functions, mostly related to exploratory statistical analysis

Create a movie by rotating a 3D rgl scene.

Description

movieSpin3d is basically just a wrapper for movie3d(spin3d(axis=axis, rpm = rpm), fps = fps, ...) that sets the duration to the value of '60/rpm-1/fps', which results in a sequence of frames that form a continuous animation when repeated. This is in contrast to setting the duration to the value of 60/rpm, which results in rendering the last frame identical to the first one, thus making the animation non-smooth.

    fps = 5, ...)
