set_scene: rgl defaults

Description

Quick defaults for rgl static plot

Usage

set_scene(
  interactive = FALSE,
  zoom = 0.5,
  phi = 0,
  theta = 0,
  light_phi = -45,
  light_theta = 0
)

Value

nothing

Arguments

interactive

mouse interactive plot, default FALSE

zoom

zoom for rgl::view3d default 0.5 which is closer than rgl 1

phi, theta

polar coordinates, passed to rgl::view3d()

light_phi, light_theta

polar coordinates, passed to rgl::light3d() as phi and theta respectively

Details

This function sets the size of the window to 1024x1024, sets the view position at directly vertical phi = 0, theta = 0, makes the view non-interactive (zoom is enabled, but no pivot or pan). It turns off the lights and puts a new light in front of the viewer (to avoid shiny glare), sets the aspect ratio to 'iso' ("fill the box"), and attempts to 'bringtotop', but I think that has to happen interactively with rgl::rgl.bringtotop() (especially for animating or snapshotting scenes to file).

phi and theta use 0 and 0 respectively, phi is different from rgl's default in order to look straight down on the quad (along the z axis)

light_phi and light_theta use -45 and 0 respectively, phi is different from rg's default to put the light source forwards (y+) from the viewer when looking straight down

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive() && requireNamespace("rgl", quietly = TRUE)
## see README and in-dev examples in rough-examples.R
rgl::plot3d(rnorm(10), rnorm(10), rnorm(1)); set_scene()
}
