Animate a 3D scatterplot (based on plot3D) through gifski

This function executes plot_manifold, from which it inherits parameters, iteratively, saves each frame in a folder in the current path, and then creates a gif with the package gifski, which must be installed.

Usage

animate_manifold(
  Scores,
  colvar = NULL,
  col = NULL,
  gifname = "gif.gif",
  thetas = seq(0, 359, 1),
  phis = rep(10, 360),
  pch = 16,
  cex = 2,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  zlim = NULL,
  adapt3D = F,
  width = 700,
  height = 700,
  delay = 75/1000
)

Arguments

Scores

An object as returned by 'reduce_rPCA'.

gifname

Name of the gif file saved in the current path

adapt3D

Whether axis should be "as is", FALSE, or strectched to fit the 3D box, TRUE

delay

Speed of the transitions in seconds

colvar;col

The name of a variable to use for colors; a char vectors of colors.

thetas;phis

The angles of the "eyes" on the plot given as vectors of angles that will form the gif. Vectors must have the same length

pch;cex

Some graphical pars defining shape and size of the points plotted

xlim;ylim;zlim

To manually supply limits

width;height

Dimensions of the images and thus of the gif

Value

A gif is saved in the current path; side effect: all frames are saved in a folder in the path.
