writeWebGL: Write scene to HTML (obsolete)

Description

Obsolete function to write the current scene to a collection of files that contain WebGL code to reproduce it in a browser. Please use rglwidget instead.

Usage

writeWebGL(dir = "webGL", filename = file.path(dir, "index.html"), 
           template = system.file(file.path("WebGL", "template.html"), package = "rgl"),
           prefix = "",
           snapshot = TRUE, commonParts = TRUE, reuse = NULL, 
           font = "Arial", width, height)

Value

The filename is returned.

Arguments

dir: Where to write the files.
filename: The filename to use for the main file.
template: The template web page to which to write the Javascript for the scene. See Details below.
prefix: An optional prefix to use on global identifiers in the scene; use different prefixes for different scenes displayed on the same web page. If not blank, it should be a legal identifier in Javascript and HTML.
snapshot: Whether to include a snapshot of the scene, to be displayed in browsers that don't support WebGL, or a specification of the snapshot to use. See details below.
commonParts: Whether to include parts that would be common to several figures on the same page. Currently this includes a reference to and copy of the CanvasMatrix.js file in the output.
reuse: Ignored.
font: The font to use for text.
width, height: The (optional) width and height in pixels of the image to display. If omitted, the par3d("windowRect") dimensions will be used.

Details

This obsolete function writes out a web page containing Javascript that reconstructs the scene in WebGL. It will be formally deprecated in an upcoming release; you should use rglwidget instead in any new code, and start migrating old code there.
