R: Lines intersecting the bounding box

abclines3d {rgl} | R Documentation

## Lines intersecting the bounding box

### Description

This adds mathematical lines to a scene. Their intersection with the current bounding box will be drawn.

### Usage

    rgl.abclines(x, y = NULL, z = NULL, a, b = NULL, c = NULL, ...)
    abclines3d(x, y = NULL, z = NULL, a, b = NULL, c = NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`x, y, z` | Coordinates of points through which each line passes.
`a, b, c` | Coordinates of the direction vectors for the lines.
`...` | Material properties.

### Details

These functions draw the segment of a line that intersects the current bounding box of the scene using the parametrization (x, y, z) + (a, b, c) * s where s is a real number.

Any reasonable way of defining the coordinates `x, y, z` and `a, b, c` is acceptable. See the function `xyz.coords` for details.

### Value

A shape ID of the object is returned invisibly.

### See Also

`planes3d`, `rgl.planes` for mathematical planes.

`segments3d` draws sections of lines that do not adapt to the bounding box.

### Examples

    plot3d(rnorm(100), rnorm(100), rnorm(100))
    abclines3d(0, 0, 0, a = diag(3), col = "gray")
