exportScene {misc3d}

Writing Out Triangular Mesh Scenes

Description

Writing out scenes consisting of one or more surfaces represented by triangular mesh data structures to textual files.

Usage

exportScene(scene, filename, format=c("OFF", "IDTF", "ASY"))

Arguments

scene

a triangle mesh object of class Triangles3D or a list of such objects representing the scene to be exported.

filename

the name of the exported textual file.

format

the format of the exported textual file. It must be one of "OFF", "IDTF", or "ASY" and can be abbreviated. The default is "OFF".

Details

exportScene writes out scenes to textual files, which can be used for other purposes, for example the generation of U3d and PRC files for interactive 3D visualization in a PDF.

Value

Textual files representing triangular mesh scenes.

Examples

  nmix3 <- function(x, y, z, m, s) {
      0.4 * dnorm(x, m, s) * dnorm(y, m, s) * dnorm(z, m, s) +
      0.3 * dnorm(x, -m, s) * dnorm(y, -m, s) * dnorm(z, -m, s) +
      0.3 * dnorm(x, m, s) * dnorm(y, -1.5 * m, s) * dnorm(z, m, s)
  }
 
  f <- function(x,y,z) nmix3(x,y,z,.5,.5)
 
  gs1 <- function(n = 40, k = 5, cmap = heat.colors, ...) {
      th <- seq(0.05, 0.2, len = k)
      col <- rev(cmap(length(th)))
      x <- seq(-2, 2, len=n)
      m <- function(x,y,z) x > .25 | y < -.3
      contour3d(f,th,x,x,x,color=col, mask = m, engine = "none",
               scale = FALSE, ...)
  }
 
  conts <- gs1(40, 5, screen=list(z = 130, x = -80),
               color2 = "lightgray", cmap=rainbow)
  filename <- file.path(tempdir(), "nmix")
  exportScene(conts, filename, "OFF")
