Render screen-space point primitives — render

Renders points as fixed-size filled circles in screen space with depth testing. Unlike render_spheres(), point size is measured in pixels and does not change with camera distance.

Usage

render_points(
  positions,
  colors,
  radius = 3,
  camera = camera_auto(positions),
  options = render_options()
)

Arguments

positions: Nx3 numeric matrix of point positions.
colors: Nx4 numeric matrix of RGBA colours (0-1 scale).
radius: Point radius in pixels.
camera: A camera list.
options: Render options.

Value

An image list.

Examples

pts <- matrix(c(0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0),
 ncol = 3)
colors = matrix(c(0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1), ncol = 4)
img <- render_points(pts, colors = colors, radius = 5)
tmp_file <- tempfile(fileext = ".png")
write_png(img, tmp_file)
