When plotting triangles with rgl.triangles and setting the axes afterwards with decorate3d(aspect=TRUE), the axes get the color used for the last triangle plotted. Example: rgl.triangles(c(1,2,3),c(1,2,5),c(1,3,2),col="#55FF55") decorate3d(aspect=TRUE) Using decorate3d(aspect=TRUE,col="#000000") or decorate3d(aspect=TRUE,color="#000000") does not help, the axes still have the last color used for plotting an object.
You should use triangles3d if you don't want the material changes to carry over to the next call. Generally speaking it's hard to get things right when you mix the rgl.* calls (which assume changes are persistent) with the *3d calls (which assume they're not).
This worked indeed. Thanks for the hint.
In the help page of decorate3d on can find the following line:
...: additional parameters which will be passed to 'par3d',
'material3d' or 'decorate3d'.
So the 'color' argument should have an effect.
Yes, that's a bug, which has been fixed (but not released yet). There should be a release pretty soon now. Daniel Adler and I are hoping to have a version 1.0 in the next couple of months; I expect one or two more 0.x releases before that.
Very nice! /Gaspard
