Package 'thorn'

Title: 'HTMLwidgets' Displaying Some 'WebGL' Shaders
Description: Creates some 'WebGL' shaders. They can be used as the background of a 'Shiny' app. They also can be visualized in the 'RStudio' viewer pane or included in 'Rmd' documents, but this is pretty useless, besides contemplating them.

HTML widget displaying a shader

Description

Creates a HTML widget displaying a shader.

Usage

thorn(shader, width = NULL, height = NULL, elementId = NULL)

Arguments

shader

the name of the shader, one of "thorn", "thorn-color", "ikeda", "sweet", "biomorph1", "biomorph2", "biomorph3", "apollony", "smoke", "plasma"
width, height

a valid CSS measurement (like "100%", "400px", "auto") or a number, which will be coerced to a string and have "px" appended
elementId

a HTML id for the widget

Examples

library(thorn)
thorn("ikeda") # click on the shader to animate it
thorn("thorn") # you can also use the mouse wheel on this one

# four shaders ####
library(htmltools)

hw1 <- thorn("thorn-color", width = "50vw", height = "50vh")
hw2 <- thorn("ikeda", width = "50vw", height = "50vh")
hw3 <- thorn("sweet", width = "50vw", height = "50vh")
hw4 <- thorn("biomorph3", width = "50vw", height = "50vh")

if(interactive()){
  browsable(
    withTags(
      div(
        div(
          style = "position:absolute; top:0;",
          div(hw1, style="position:fixed; left:0;"),
          div(hw2, style="position:fixed; left:50vw;")
        ),
        div(
          style = "position:absolute; top:50vh;",
          div(hw3, style="position:fixed; left:0;"),
          div(hw4, style="position:fixed; left:50vw;")

Shiny bindings for thorn

Description

Output and render functions for using thorn within Shiny applications and interactive Rmd documents.

Usage

thornOutput(outputId, width = "100%", height = "100%")

renderThorn(expr, env = parent.frame(), quoted = FALSE)

Arguments

outputId

output variable to read from
width, height

a valid CSS measurement (like "100%", "400px", "auto") or a number, which will be coerced to a string and have "px" appended
expr

an expression that generates a shader created with thorn
env

the environment in which to evaluate expr
quoted

logical, whether expr is a quoted expression

Examples

library(thorn)
library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(
  thornOutput("thorn", width = "100%", height = "100%"),
