holor Package

A package that creates quilts for holographic images on the Looking Glass Device.

Supported Plots

As of right now holor supports the following functions:

plot3D::hist3D()
plot3D::scatter3D()
plot3D::persp3D()

Install

devtools::install_github("DvP17/holor")

Create a quilt

library(holor)

# Scatter Plot
quilt(plot3D::scatter3D(x = iris$Sepal.Length,
                        y = iris$Petal.Length,
                        z = iris$Sepal.Width),
      cone = 10, theta = 0, phi = 0, device = "LGP", file = "myquilt-scatter.png")

# Histogram
data("VADeaths")
quilt(plot3D::hist3D(z = VADeaths),
      cone = 10, theta = 0, phi = 0, device = "LGP", file = "myquilt-hist.png")

# Perspectives
quilt(plot3D::persp3D(z = volcano, shade = 0.3, col = gg.col(100)),
      cone = 10, theta = 5, phi = 40, device = "LGP", file = "myquilt-persp.png")

The device argument corresponds to the device you are using to display the hologram. The file name is automatically changed to include information on the parameters needed for HoloPlayStudio.

Preview

You can preview the quilts by rendering a GIF file with the preview_quilt() function.

# Scatter Plot
preview_quilt(file = "myquilt-persp_qs8x6.png", width = 2200)

Export

Now you can export the quilt to HoloPlayStudio with drag & drop. Attached is an example of a scatter plot on the Looking Glass Portrait.
