Arguments

hillshade

Hillshade/image to be added to 3D surface map.

heightmap

A two-dimensional matrix, where each entry in the matrix is the elevation at that point. All points are assumed to be evenly spaced.

zscale

Default `1`. The ratio between the x and y spacing (which are assumed to be equal) and the z axis. For example, if the elevation levels are in units of 1 meter and the grid values are separated by 10 meters, `zscale` would be 10. Adjust the zscale down to exaggerate elevation features.

baseshape

Default `rectangle`. Shape of the base. Options are c("rectangle","circle","hex").

solid

Default `TRUE`. If `FALSE`, just the surface is rendered.

soliddepth

Default `auto`, which sets it to the lowest elevation in the matrix minus one unit (scaled by zscale). Depth of the solid base.

solidcolor

Default `grey20`. Base color.

solidlinecolor

Default `grey30`. Base edge line color.

shadow

Default `TRUE`. If `FALSE`, no shadow is rendered.

shadowdepth

Default `auto`, which sets it to `soliddepth - soliddepth/10`. Depth of the shadow layer.

shadowcolor

Default `grey50`. Color of the shadow.

shadowwidth

Default `auto`, which sizes it to 1/10th the smallest dimension of `heightmap`. Width of the shadow in units of the matrix.

water

Default `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, a water layer is rendered.

waterdepth

Default `0`. Water level.

watercolor

Default `lightblue`. Color of the water.

wateralpha

Default `0.5`. Water transparency.

waterlinecolor

Default `NULL`. Color of the lines around the edges of the water layer.

waterlinealpha

Default `1`. Water line tranparency.

linewidth

Default `2`. Width of the edge lines in the scene.

lineantialias

Default `FALSE`. Whether to anti-alias the lines in the scene.

theta

Default `45`. Rotation around z-axis.

phi

Default `45`. Azimuth angle.

fov

Default `0`--isometric. Field-of-view angle.

zoom

Default `1`. Zoom factor.

background

Default `grey10`. Color of the background.

windowsize

Default `600`. Position, width, and height of the `rgl` device displaying the plot. If a single number, viewport will be a square and located in upper left corner. If two numbers, (e.g. `c(600,800)`), user will specify width and height separately. If four numbers (e.g. `c(200,0,600,800)`), the first two coordinates specify the location of the x-y coordinates of the bottom-left corner of the viewport on the screen, and the next two (or one, if square) specify the window size. NOTE: The absolute positioning of the window does not currently work on macOS (tested on Mojave), but the size can still be specified.

precomputed_normals

Default `NULL`. Takes the output of `calculate_normals()` to save computing normals internally.

asp

Default `1`. Aspect ratio of the resulting plot. Use `asp = 1/cospi(mean_latitude/180)` to rescale lat/long at higher latitudes to the correct the aspect ratio.

triangulate

Default `FALSE`. Reduce the size of the 3D model by triangulating the height map. Set this to `TRUE` if generating the model is slow, or moving it is choppy. Will also reduce the size of 3D models saved to disk.

max_error

Default `0.001`. Maximum allowable error when triangulating the height map, when `triangulate = TRUE`. Increase this if you encounter problems with 3D performance, want to decrease render time with `render_highquality()`, or need to save a smaller 3D OBJ file to disk with `save_obj()`,

max_tri

Default `0`, which turns this setting off and uses `max_error`. Maximum number of triangles allowed with triangulating the height map, when `triangulate = TRUE`. Increase this if you encounter problems with 3D performance, want to decrease render time with `render_highquality()`, or need to save a smaller 3D OBJ file to disk with `save_obj()`,

verbose

Default `TRUE`, if `interactive()`. Prints information about the mesh triangulation if `triangulate = TRUE`.

...

Additional arguments to pass to the `rgl::par3d` function.
