Render Buildings

Description

Adds 3D polygons with roofs to the current scene, using latitude/longitude or coordinates in the reference system defined by the extent object.

Usage

render_buildings(
  polygon,
  extent,
  material = "grey",
  roof_material = NA,
  angle = 45,
  zscale = 1,
  scale_data = 1,
  relative_heights = TRUE,
  heights_relative_to_centroid = FALSE,
  roof_height = 1,
  base_height = 0,
  data_column_top = NULL,
  data_column_bottom = NULL,
  heightmap = NULL,
  holes = 0,
  alpha = 1,
  lit = TRUE,
  flat_shading = FALSE,
  light_altitude = c(45, 30),
  light_direction = c(315, 225),
  light_intensity = 1,
  light_relative = FALSE,
  clear_previous = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

polygon	'sf' object, "SpatialPolygon" 'sp' object, or xy coordinates of polygon represented in a way that can be processed by 'xy.coords()'. If xy-coordinate based polygons are open, they will be closed by adding an edge from the last point to the first.
extent	Either an object representing the spatial extent of the 3D scene (either from the 'raster', 'terra', 'sf', or 'sp' packages), a length-4 numeric vector specifying 'c("xmin", "xmax", "ymin", "ymax")', or the spatial object (from the previously aforementioned packages) which will be automatically converted to an extent object.
material	Default '"grey80"'. If a color string, this will specify the color of the sides/base of the building Alternatively (for more customization), this can be a r'ayvertex::material_list()' object to specify the full color/appearance/material options for the resulting 'ray_mesh' mesh.
roof_material	Default 'NA', defaults to the material specified in 'material'. If a color string, this will specify the color of the roof of the building. Alternatively (for more customization), this can be a 'rayvertex::material_list()' object to specify the full color/appearance/material options for the resulting 'ray_mesh' mesh.
angle	Default '45'. Angle of the roof.
zscale	Default '1'. The ratio between the x and y spacing (which are assumed to be equal) and the z axis in the original heightmap.
scale_data	Default '1'. How much to scale the 'top'/'bottom' value when rendering. Use 'zscale' to adjust the data to account for 'x'/'y' grid spacing, and this argument to scale the data for visualization.
relative_heights	Default 'TRUE'. Whether the heights specified in 'roof_height' and 'base_height' should be measured relative to the underlying heightmap.
heights_relative_to_centroid	Default 'FALSE'. Whether the heights should be measured in absolute terms, or relative to the centroid of the polygon.
roof_height	Default '1'. Height from the base of the building to the start of the roof.
base_height	Default '0'. Height of the base of the roof.
data_column_top	Default 'NULL'. A string indicating the column in the 'sf' object to use to specify the top of the extruded polygon.
data_column_bottom	Default 'NULL'. A string indicating the column in the 'sf' object to use to specify the bottom of the extruded polygon.
heightmap	Default 'NULL'. Automatically extracted from the rgl window–only use if auto-extraction of matrix extent isn't working. A two-dimensional matrix, where each entry in the matrix is the elevation at that point. All points are assumed to be evenly spaced.
holes	Default '0'. If passing in a polygon directly, this specifies which index represents the holes in the polygon. See the 'earcut' function in the 'decido' package for more information.
alpha	Default '1'. Transparency of the polygons.
lit	Default 'TRUE'. Whether to light the polygons.
flat_shading	Default 'FALSE'. Set to 'TRUE' to have nicer shading on the 3D polygons. This comes with the slight penalty of increasing the memory use of the scene due to vertex duplication. This will not affect software or high quality renders.
light_altitude	Default 'c(45, 30)'. Degree(s) from the horizon from which to light the polygons.
light_direction	Default 'c(315, 225)'. Degree(s) from north from which to light the polygons.
light_intensity	Default '1'. Intensity of the specular highlight on the polygons.
light_relative	Default 'FALSE'. Whether the light direction should be taken relative to the camera, or absolute.
clear_previous	Default 'FALSE'. If 'TRUE', it will clear all existing polygons.
...	Additional arguments to pass to 'rgl::triangles3d()'.
