)Arguments
- polygon
`sf` object, "SpatialPolygon" `sp` object, or xy coordinates of polygon represented in a way that can be processed by `xy.coords()`. If xy-coordinate based polygons are open, they will be closed by adding an edge from the last point to the first.
- extent
Either an object representing the spatial extent of the 3D scene (either from the `raster`, `terra`, `sf`, or `sp` packages), a length-4 numeric vector specifying `c("xmin", "xmax", "ymin", "ymax")`, or the spatial object (from the previously aforementioned packages) which will be automatically converted to an extent object.
- color
Default `black`. Color of the polygon.
- top
Default `1`. Extruded top distance. If this equals `bottom`, the polygon will not be extruded and just the one side will be rendered.
- bottom
Default `0`. Extruded bottom distance. If this equals `top`, the polygon will not be extruded and just the one side will be rendered.
- data_column_top
Default `NULL`. A string indicating the column in the `sf` object to use to specify the top of the extruded polygon.
- data_column_bottom
Default `NULL`. A string indicating the column in the `sf` object to use to specify the bottom of the extruded polygon.
- heightmap
Default `NULL`. Automatically extracted from the rgl window--only use if auto-extraction of matrix extent isn't working. A two-dimensional matrix, where each entry in the matrix is the elevation at that point. All points are assumed to be evenly spaced.
- scale_data
Default `1`. If specifying `data_column_top` or `data_column_bottom`, how much to scale that value when rendering.
- parallel
Default `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, polygons will be extruded in parallel, which may be faster (depending on how many geometries are in `polygon`).
- holes
Default `0`. If passing in a polygon directly, this specifies which index represents the holes in the polygon. See the `earcut` function in the `decido` package for more information.
- alpha
Default `1`. Transparency of the polygons.
- lit
Default `TRUE`. Whether to light the polygons.
- light_altitude
Default `c(45, 60)`. Degree(s) from the horizon from which to light the polygons.
- light_direction
Default `c(45, 60)`. Degree(s) from north from which to light the polygons.
- light_intensity
Default `0.3`. Intensity of the specular highlight on the polygons.
- light_relative
Default `FALSE`. Whether the light direction should be taken relative to the camera, or absolute.
- clear_previous
Default `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, it will clear all existing polygons.
