pch3d: Plot symbols similar to base graphics.

Description

This function plots symbols similarly to what the base graphics function points does when pch is specified.

Usage

pch3d(x, y = NULL, z = NULL, pch = 1, bg = material3d("color")[1], cex = 1, radius, ...)

Arguments

x, y, z

The locations at which to plot in a form suitable for use in xyz.coords.

pch

A vector of integers or single characters describing the symbols to plot.

bg

The fill color to use for pch from 21 to 25.

cex

A relative size of the symbol to plot.

radius

An absolute size of the symbol to plot in user coordinates.

…

Other material properties.

Value

A vector of object id values is returned invisibly. Separate objects will be drawn for each different pch value from 0 to 25, and another holding all the character symbols.

Details

The list of symbols encoded by numerical pch values is given in the points help page.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
open3d()
i <- 0:25; x <- i %% 5; y <- rep(0, 26); z <- i %/% 5
pch3d(x, y, z, pch = i, bg = "green")
text3d(x, y, z + 0.3, i)
pch3d(x + 5, y, z, pch = i+65)
text3d(x + 5, y, z + 0.3, i+65)
# }
