Convert Explicit Mesh Data to a ggWebGL Mesh Object

Source: R/as-mesh-webgl.R
as_mesh_webgl.Rd

as_mesh_webgl() converts CRAN-safe explicit mesh inputs into a lightweight helper object accepted by ggwebgl_layer_mesh(). Core ggWebGL does not convert external mesh package classes in this milestone.

Usage

as_mesh_webgl(x, ...)

Arguments

x

Object to convert. Supported inputs are ggwebgl_mesh objects, lists with vertices and triangles, and data frames containing explicit x, y, z, i, j, and k columns.

...

Additional arguments passed to ggwebgl_mesh().

Value

A ggwebgl_mesh object.

Examples

vertices <- data.frame(x = c(0, 1, 0), y = c(0, 0, 1), z = c(0, 0, 0))
triangles <- data.frame(i = 1L, j = 2L, k = 3L)
as_mesh_webgl(list(vertices = vertices, triangles = triangles))
