Overview

About

Maintained by Michael D. SumnerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Gives direct access to generic 3D tools and provides a full suite of mesh-creation and 3D plotting functions. By extending the 'rgl' package conversion and visualization functions for the 'mesh3d' class a wide variety of complex spatial data can be brought into 3D scenes. These tools allow for spatial raster, polygons, and lines that are common in 'GIS' contexts to be converted into mesh forms with high flexibility and the ability to integrate disparate data types. Vector and raster data can be seamlessly combined as meshes, and surfaces can be set to have material properties based on data values or with image textures. Textures and other data combinations use projection transformations to map between coordinate systems, and objects can be easily visualized in an interactive scene at any stage. This package relies on the 'RTriangle' package for high-quality triangular meshing which is licensed restrictively under 'CC BY-NC-SA 4.0'.

Changes in 0.7.0

Removed rgdal dependency.
Use dpylr::summarise() not tally() to avoid dplyr warning, thanks to Romain Francois (#152).
Bug fix (avoid warning) for degenerate dimensions with matrix input to as.mesh3d() (#142).
Bug fix in triangle colouring for grids (#143).
Now importing colourvalues to convert RGB to hex for mesh_plot().
New internal function texture_mesh3d() adds support to mesh_plot() for

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.7.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("hypertidy/anglr")

Development version from hypertidy/anglr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
