Render objects using RGL

glplot() is a generic function for renders various kinds of spatial objects, i.e. Spatial* data and fm_mesh_2d objects. The function invokes particular methods which depend on the class of the first argument.

Usage

glplot(object, ...)

# S3 method for class 'SpatialPoints'
glplot(object, add = TRUE, color = "red", ...)

# S3 method for class 'SpatialLines'
glplot(object, add = TRUE, ...)

# S3 method for class 'fm_mesh_2d'
glplot(object, add = TRUE, col = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object

an object used to select a method.

...

Parameters passed on to plot_rgl.fm_mesh_2d()

add

If TRUE, add the points to an existing plot. If FALSE, create new plot.

color

vector of R color characters. See material3d() for details.

col

Color specification. A single named color, a vector of scalar values, or a matrix of RGB values.

Methods (by class)

• glplot(SpatialPoints): This function will calculate the cartesian coordinates of the points provided and use points3d() in order to render them.

• glplot(SpatialLines): This function will calculate a cartesian representation of the lines provided and use lines3d() in order to render them.

• glplot(fm_mesh_2d): This function transforms the mesh to 3D cartesian coordinates and uses fmesher::plot_rgl() to plot the result.
