Morpho (version 1.0-1)

warpmovie3d: Creates a sequence of images showing predefined steps of warping two meshes or landmark configurations (2D and 3D) into each other

Description

given two landmark configurations or two meshes with the same amount of vertices and faces (e.g a mesh and its warped counterpart), the starting configuration/mesh will be subsequently transformed into the final configuration/mesh by splitting the differences into a predefined set of steps.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mesh3d':
warpmovie3d(x, y, n, col = "green", palindrome = FALSE,
folder = NULL, movie = "warpmovie", add = FALSE, close = TRUE,countbegin=0,ask=TRUE,...)
## S3 method for class 'matrix':
warpmovie3d(x, y, n, col = "green", palindrome = FALSE,
folder = NULL, movie = "warpmovie", add = FALSE, close=TRUE,
countbegin=0, ask=TRUE, radius=NULL, links=NULL, lwd=1,...)
warpmovie2d(x, y, n, col = "green", palindrome = FALSE, folder =
NULL,movie="warpmovie", links=NULL, lwd=1, imagedim = "800x800",
par=list(xaxt="n", yaxt="n", bty="n"),...)

Arguments

x

mesh to start with (object of class mesh3d)

y

resulting mesh (object of class mesh3d), having the same amount of vertices and faces than the starting mesh

n

integer: amount of intermediate steps.

col

color of the mesh

palindrome

logical: if TRUE, the procedure will go forth and back.

folder

character: output folder for created images (optional)

movie

character: name of the output files

add

logical: if TRUE, the movie will be added to the focussed rgl-windows.

close

logical: if TRUE, the rgl window will be closed when finished. width and 200 the height of the image.

countbegin

integer: number to start image sequence.

ask

logical: if TRUE, the viewpoint can be selected manually.

radius

numeric: define size of spheres (overides atuomatic size estimation).

links

vector or list of vectors containing wireframe information to connect landmarks (optional).

lwd

numeric: controls width of lines defined by "links".

imagedim

character of pattern "100x200" where 100 determines the width and 200 the height of the image.

par

list of graphial parameters: details can be found here: par.

...

additional arguments passed to shade3d (3D) or points (2D).

Details

A series of png files will be saved to disk. These can be joined to animated gifs by external programs such as imagemagick or used to create animations in PDFs in a latex environment (e.g. latex package: aninmate).

Examples

###3D example
data(nose)##load data
##warp a mesh onto another landmark configuration:
warpnose.long <- warp.mesh(shortnose.mesh,shortnose.lm,longnose.lm)
warpmovie3d(shortnose.mesh,warpnose.long,n=15)## create 15 images.
### restrict to landmarks
warpmovie3d(shortnose.lm,longnose.lm,n=15,movie="matrixmovie")## create 15 images.
### the images are now stored in your current working directory and can
### be concatenated to a gif using an external program such as
### imagemagick.

### 2D example
library(shapes)
bb <- procSym(gorf.dat)
### morph superimposed first specimen onto sample mean
warpmovie2d(bb$rotated[,,1],bb$mshape,n=20,links=c(1,5,4:2,8:6,1),imagedim="600x400")
