## Write HTML/Javascript code to control a WebGL display.

### Description

These functions write out HTML code to control WebGL displays on the same page.

### Usage

    subsetSlider(subsets, labels = names(subsets),
                 fullset = Reduce(union, subsets),
                 subscenes = currentSubscene3d(), prefixes = "",
                 accumulate = FALSE, ...)

    subsetSetter(subsets, subscenes = currentSubscene3d(), prefixes = "",
    			 fullset = Reduce(union, subsets),
                             accumulate = FALSE)

    clipplaneSlider(a=NULL, b=NULL, c=NULL, d=NULL,
                    plane = 1, clipplaneids, prefixes = "",
                    labels = signif(values[,1],3), ...)

    toggleButton(subset, subscenes = currentSubscene3d(), prefixes = "",
                 label = deparse(substitute(subset)),
                 id = paste0(basename(tempfile("input"))), name = id)

### Arguments

`subsets` | A list of vectors of object identifiers; the slider or setter will choose among them.
`labels` | Labels to display corresponding to each subset. If `NULL`, numeric labels will be shown.
`fullset` | Objects in the subscene which are not in `fullset` will not be touched.
`subscenes` | The subscenes to be controlled.
`prefixes` | The prefixes of the WebGL scenes to be controlled.
`accumulate` | If `TRUE`, the subsets will accumulate (by union) as the value increases.
`id` | The `id` of the input control that will be generated.
`name` | The name of the input control that will be generated.
`...` | Arguments to pass to `propertySlider`.
`a,b,c,d` | The parameter values to change. Leave as `NULL` to hold the parameter constant.
`plane, clipplaneids` | The identifier of the particular clipplane to modify.
`subset` | The subset that the button should toggle.
`label` | The button label.

### Details

`subsetSlider` and `clipplaneSlider` generate an HTML5 slider control with a text label. To display no text, set the labels to blanks in the `...` argument.

`subsetSetter` is a low-level function to produce the Javascript code used by `subsetSlider`. This code will not touch objects in the subscene if they are not in `fullset`. `fullset` defaults to the union of all the object ids mentioned in `subsets`, so by default if an id is not mentioned in one of the subsets, it will not be controlled by the slider.

`toggleButton` generates a button that toggles the presence of objects within a subscene. If the first entry in `subset` is in the subscene, all are deleted, otherwise all are added.

`clipplaneSlider` allows a clipping plane to be moved to a sequence of positions. Any non-`NULL` entries among `a, b, c, d` should be vectors; the slider will set those parameters of the selected clipping plane to corresponding values as the slider is moved.

### Value

`subsetSetter` returns a length-one character vector of class `"propertySetter"`.

The other functions use `cat` to write their output and invisibly return the `id` of the control that was generated.

`playwidget` and `toggleWidget` for a newer, preferred method of inserting controls into a scene.

Older functions include `writeWebGL`. See `propertySlider` and `propertySetter` for lower level, more flexible functions.

### Examples

      subsets <- list(1:3, 1:4, 1:5)
      subsetSlider(subsets = subsets)
      toggleButton(1:3)
      clipplaneSlider(d = seq(0, 1, len=20), clipplaneid = 123)
