data2platonic: creates 3D shapes from data to be saved as triangular meshes

Description

creates 3D shapes from 3-dimensional data that can be saved as triangular meshes

Usage

data2platonic(
  datamatrix,
  shape = Rvcg::vcgSphere(),
  col = "red",
  scale = FALSE,
  scalefactor = 1
)

Value

returns all shapes merged into a single mesh

Arguments

datamatrix

k x 3 data matrix

shape

a 3D shape

col

color value

scale

logical: whether to scale the data to unit sd.

scalefactor

scale the resulting shapes.

Examples

mymesh <- data2platonic(iris[iris$Species=="setosa",1:3],scalefactor=0.1)
mymesh <- mergeMeshes(mymesh,data2platonic(iris[iris$Species=="versicolor",1:3],
                      shape=Rvcg::vcgIcosahedron(),scalefactor=0.1,col="green"))
mymesh <- mergeMeshes(mymesh,data2platonic(iris[iris$Species=="virginica",1:3],
                      shape=Rvcg::vcgTetrahedron(),scalefactor=0.1,col="blue"))
if (FALSE) {
rgl::shade3d(mymesh)
## save to disk
Rvcg::vcgPlyWrite(mymesh,filename="3D_Data.ply")
}
