render_water: Render Water Layer

In tylermorganwall/rayshader: Create Maps and Visualize Data in 2D and 3D

Render Water Layer

Description

Adds water layer to the scene, removing the previous water layer if desired.

Usage

render_water(
  heightmap,
  waterdepth = 0,
  watercolor = "lightblue",
  zscale = 1,
  wateralpha = 0.5,
  waterlinecolor = NULL,
  waterlinealpha = 1,
  linewidth = 2,
  remove_water = TRUE
)

Arguments

heightmap	A two-dimensional matrix, where each entry in the matrix is the elevation at that point. All points are assumed to be evenly spaced.
waterdepth	Default '0'.
watercolor	Default 'lightblue'.
zscale	Default '1'. The ratio between the x and y spacing (which are assumed to be equal) and the z axis. For example, if the elevation levels are in units of 1 meter and the grid values are separated by 10 meters, 'zscale' would be 10.
wateralpha	Default '0.5'. Water transparency.
waterlinecolor	Default 'NULL'. Color of the lines around the edges of the water layer.
waterlinealpha	Default '1'. Water line tranparency.
linewidth	Default '2'. Width of the edge lines in the scene.
remove_water	Default 'TRUE'. If 'TRUE', will remove existing water layer and replace it with new layer.

Examples

if(run_documentation()) {
montereybay %>%
 sphere_shade() %>%
 plot_3d(montereybay,zscale=50)
render_snapshot()
}
 
#We want to add a layer of water after the initial render.
if(run_documentation()) {
render_water(montereybay,zscale=50)
render_snapshot()
}

#Call it again to change the water depth
if(run_documentation()) {
render_water(montereybay,zscale=50,waterdepth=-1000)
render_snapshot()
}

#Add waterlines
if(run_documentation()) {
render_camera(theta=-45)
render_water(montereybay,zscale=50,waterlinecolor="white")
render_snapshot()
}
