Dear all, The documentation on the function open3d in the rgl package, reads:
open3d opens a new rgl device, and sets the parameters as requested. I want the new rgl device (window) to be sized and positioned in a specific place on my screen. So, I try to set the "windowRect" parameter as follows: > library("rgl") > open3d(windowRect=c(100,100,500,500)) [1] 1 Obviously you can't see where the window appears, so I'll ask for the "windowRect" parameter: > par3d()["windowRect"] $windowRect [1] 2300 764 2556 1020 As you can see, the window is not positioned at (100,100) nor is the size 400x400. The size is the default 256x256 and the position is where the window manager would put a new window if its position is unspecified. [note: I have a dual screen setup so the coordinates are not bogus] If, however, I use par3d to set the "windowRect", the window goes where it is supposed to go: > par3d(windowRect=c(100,100,500,500)) > par3d()["windowRect"] $windowRect [1] 104 125 504 525 The (4,25) pixels offset are the border and title bar of the window. For completeness sake: This behavior occurs on both Windows+ATI, Linux+ATI, Linux+NVidia. On Windows is R version 2.7.2, and rgl version 0.81 (installed today). Does anyone know how to set the windowRect parameter during an open3d call?
