plot3d: Interactive 3D plot of a RasterLayer

In rasterVis: Visualization methods for the raster package

Description

Make an interactive 3D plot (map) of a RasterLayer. This is a wrapper around surface3d in the rgl package. You can use decorate3d to add axes.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'RasterLayer'
plot3D(x, maxpixels=100000, 
   zfac=1, drape=NULL, col, rev=FALSE, adjust=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	a RasterLayer object

maxpixels	Maximum number of pixels to use
zfac	Numeric, to set the elevation scale relative to x and y
drape	RasterLayer, to 'drape' colors representing the values of this layer on the 3D representation of layer x. In this casex typically has elevation data
col	A color palette generating function such as rainbow, heat.colors, and topo.colors, or one or your own making
rev	Logical. If TRUE, the color palette values are reversed in order
adjust	Logical. If TRUE, the x and y axes are scaled relative to the cell (z) values
...	Any argument that can be passed to surface3d

Examples

if (require(rgl)) {
data(volcano)
r <- raster(volcano)
extent(r) <- c(0, 610, 0, 870)
drape <- cut(r, 5)
plot3D(r, drape=drape, zfac=2)
}
