plot3D.cube: Cube Object Interactive 3D Plot

Description

Plots an interactive 3D representation of a cube object using OpenGL.

Usage

# S3 method for cube
plot3D(x, colvec = getOption("cubing.colors"), recolor = FALSE, 
   bg = grey(0.8), rand.col = FALSE, size = 0.98, col.interior = grey(0.5), 
   al.interior = 0.4, al.exterior = 1, rinit = 30, bbox = TRUE, bbcolor = 
   "#333377", bbemission = "#333377", bbspecular = "#3333FF", bbshininess = 
   5, bbalpha = 0.5, …)

Arguments

x

Any cube object.

colvec

Vector of sticker colors. The default is the cubing.colors option.

recolor

If TRUE, previous rotations are ignored and therefore the cube is recolored.

bg

Background color.

rand.col

If TRUE then sticker colors are chosen at random and colvec is ignored.

size

Size of the individual cubies. Must be less than one. Values closer to one give cubes that look stickerless because the gap between cubies decreases. Smaller sizes give exploded cubes.

col.interior

Color of the cube interior.

al.interior

Alpha value of cube interior.

al.exterior

Alpha value of cube exterior.

rinit

The initial plot is rotated rinit degrees about the z-axis.

bbox

Use a bounding box?

bbcolor

Bounding box parameter.

bbemission

Bounding box parameter.

bbspecular

Bounding box parameter.

bbshininess

Bounding box parameter.

bbalpha

Bounding box parameter.

…

Other parameters to be passed through to plotting functions.

Details

This function uses the R package rgl which is an interface to OpenGL. The cube can be rotated using a mouse. See the documentation for the rgl package to explore the large number of options available.

The animate function also uses the rgl package to produce cubing animations.
