VRMLGen

VRMLGen generates 3D visualizations in the R environment for representing and analyzing multivariate and geometric data and exports outputs in Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) and LiveGraphics3D formats.


Key Features:

  • 3D Visualization: Generates line charts, bar plots, scatter plots with density estimation contour surfaces, height maps, parametric functions, and 3D object models.
  • File Format Support: Exports visualizations to Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) and LiveGraphics3D formats.
  • R Integration: Operates within the R environment for statistical computing and graphics.
  • Low-level Plotting Access: Provides a unified programmatic interface to low-level plotting methods, enabling composition of function calls into higher-level plotting methods.

Scientific Applications:

  • Multivariate data exploration: Visualizing multivariate relationships and density structure using 3D scatter plots and density estimation contour surfaces.
  • Surface visualization: Rendering height maps and parametric functions for analysis of surfaces and mathematical functions.
  • Geometric model representation: Representing and examining 3D object models and parametric 3D functions for geometric analyses.
  • Statistical graphics in R: Producing 3D statistical graphics to support data analysis workflows within R.

Methodology:

Operates within R, exposes low-level plotting methods programmatically, and exports visualizations to VRML and LiveGraphics3D formats.
