Jim Lemon's thigmophobe
function in the
plotrix
package
computes good directions for labels in a 2D plot. This function
does the same for a particular projection in a 3D plot by
projecting down to 2D and calling his function.
1 2 3 4 |
x, y, z |
point coordinates. Any reasonable way of defining
the coordinates is acceptable. See the function |
P, M, windowRect |
The projection and modelview matrices, and the size and position of the display in pixels. |
Since thigmophobe3d
projects using fixed P
and M
,
it will not necessarily choose good directions if the user rotates
the display or makes any other change to the projection.
A vector of values from 1 to 4 to be used as the pos
argument
in text3d
.
The example below shows how to update the directions during an animation; I find that the moving labels are distracting, and prefer to live with fixed ones.
