globe: Geocentric (XYZ) coordinates
In anglr: Mesh Topology and Visualization for Spatial Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

Convert longitude/latitude coordinates to geocentric coordinates.

globe(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mesh3d'
globe(x, gproj = NULL, ...)

## Default S3 method:
globe(x, gproj = "+proj=geocent +datum=WGS84", ...)

`x`	a silicate model or mesh3d
`...`	arguments to methods (none used)
`gproj`	Geocentric PROJ.4 string, defaults to WGS84

With silicate data checks are made for the projection in use, but not for mesh3d. In that case data are assumed to be 'longitude,latitude,elevation'.
