tetramesh: Render tetrahedron mesh (3D)

Description

tetramesh(T, X, col) uses the rgl package to display the tetrahedrons defined in the m-by-4 matrix T as mesh. Each row of T specifies a tetrahedron by giving the 4 indices of its points in X.

Usage

tetramesh(T, X, col = grDevices::heat.colors(nrow(T)), clear = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

T

T is a m-by-3 matrix in trimesh and m-by-4 in tetramesh. A row of T contains indices into X of the vertices of a triangle/tetrahedron. T is usually the output of delaunayn.

X

X is an n-by-2/n-by-3 matrix. The rows of X represent n points in 2D/3D space.

col

The tetrahedron colour. See rgl documentation for details.

clear

Should the current rendering device be cleared?

...

Parameters to the rendering device. See the rgl package.
