Description

This function Takes a Digital Elevation Map (or any surface) and illustrates how to take interactive cross sections with RPMG through the surface.

Usage

XSECDEMg(Data,  labs=NULL, pts=NULL, nlevels=10,  demo=FALSE)

Value

No return values

Arguments

Data

Structure with x, y, z components, typical of contoured surfaces or digital images

labs

Details

XSECDEMg is an example stub illustrating the use of RPMG. The idea is to set up a while() loop that uses input from the locator() function to execute or analyze data depending on user defined buttons. Actions are executed when the button clicked matches the list of names provided by the user.

Examples

data(volcano)
attr(volcano, 'dx') =10
attr(volcano, 'dy') =10
mybutts = c("DONE", "REFRESH", "rainbow", "topo", "terrain", "CONT",
"XSEC","PS" )
###  in the following change demo=FALSE to get interactive behavior
XSECDEMg(volcano, mybutts, demo=TRUE)
