# rgl.user2window

0th

Percentile

##### Convert between rgl user and window coordinates

This function converts from 3-dimensional user coordinates to 3-dimensional window coordinates.

Keywords
dynamic
##### Usage
rgl.user2window(x, y = NULL, z = NULL, projection = rgl.projection())
rgl.window2user(x, y = NULL, z = 0, projection = rgl.projection())
rgl.projection(dev = rgl.cur(), subscene = currentSubscene3d(dev))
##### Arguments
x, y, z

Input coordinates. Any reasonable way of defining the coordinates is acceptable. See the function xyz.coords for details.

projection

The rgl projection to use

dev, subscene

The rgl device and subscene to work with

##### Details

These functions convert between user coordinates and window coordinates.

Window coordinates run from 0 to 1 in X, Y, and Z. X runs from 0 on the left to 1 on the right; Y runs from 0 at the bottom to 1 at the top; Z runs from 0 foremost to 1 in the background. rgl does not currently display vertices plotted outside of this range, but in normal circumstances will automatically resize the display to show them. In the example below this has been suppressed.

##### Value

The coordinate conversion functions produce a matrix with columns corresponding to the X, Y, and Z coordinates.

rgl.projection() returns a list containing the following components:

model

the modelview matrix

projection

the projection matrix

viewport

the viewport vector
