rtorus: Generate points in the torus

Description

This function generates \(n\) random points within the torus whose minor radius is \(r\), major radius is \(R\) and center is \(ct\).

Usage

rtorus(n, r, R, ct = c(0, 0, 0), rotx = NULL)

Arguments

n

Number of observations.

r

Minor radius (radius of the tube).

R

Major radius (distance from the center of the tube to the center of the torus).

ct

A vector with the coordinates of the center of the torus.

rotx

If not NULL, a rotation through an angle rotx (in radians) about the \(x\)-axis is performed.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
T1 <- rtorus(2000, 0.5, 2.5)
rgl.bbox()
rgl.points(T1, col = 4)

T2 <- rtorus(2000, 0.5, 2.5, ct = c(2, 0, 0.5), rotx = pi/2)
rgl.points(T2, col = 2)

# }
