This is the persp method for the class "im".
The pixel image x must have real or integer values.
These values are treated as heights of a surface, and the
surface is displayed as a perspective plot on the current plot device,
using equal scales on the x and y axes.
The optional argument colmap gives an easy way to display
different altitudes in different colours (if this is what you
want).
If colmap is a colour map (object of class "colourmap",
created by the function colourmap)
then this colour map will be used to associate
altitudes with colours.
If colmap is a character vector, then the range of
altitudes in the perspective plot will be divided into
length(colmap) intervals, and those parts of the surface
which lie in a particular altitude range will be assigned
the corresponding colour from colmap.
If colmap is a function in the R language
of the form function(n, ...), this function will be called
with an appropriate value of n to generate a character
vector of n colours.
Examples of such functions are
heat.colors,
terrain.colors,
topo.colors and
cm.colors.
If colmap is a function in the R language of the
form function(range, ...) then it will be called
with range equal to the range of altitudes,
to determine the colour values or colour map.
Examples of such functions are beachcolours
and beachcolourmap.
If colmap is a list with entries breaks and col,
then colmap$breaks determines the breakpoints of the altitude
intervals, and colmap$col provides the corresponding colours.
Alternatively, if the argument colin (colour input) is present,
then the colour map colmap will be applied to
the pixel values of colin instead of the pixel values of
x. The result is a perspective view of a surface with
heights determined by x and colours determined by colin
(mapped by colmap).
If apron=TRUE, vertical surface is drawn around the boundary
of the perspective plot, so that the terrain appears to have been
cut out of a solid material. If colour data were supplied, then
the apron is coloured light grey.
Graphical parameters controlling the perspective plot
are passed through the ... arguments
directly to the function persp.default.
See the examples in persp.default or in
demo(persp).
The vertical scale is controlled by the argument expand:
setting expand=1 will interpret the pixel values as being in
the same units as the spatial coordinates x and y and
represent them at the same scale.
If visible=TRUE, the algorithm also computes whether each pixel
in x is visible in the perspective view. In order to be
visible, a pixel must not be obscured by another pixel which lies
in front of it (as seen from the viewing direction), and the
three-dimensional vector normal to the surface must be pointing toward the
viewer. The return value of persp.im then has an attribute
"visible" which is a pixel image, compatible with x,
with pixel value equal to TRUE if the corresponding pixel in
x is visible, and FALSE if it is not visible.
(invisibly) the 3D transformation matrix
returned by persp.default,
together with an attribute "expand" which gives the
relative scale of the z coordinate.
If argument visible=TRUE was given, the return value
also has an attribute "visible" which is a pixel image,
compatible with x, with logical values which are TRUE
when the corresponding pixel is visible in the perspective view,
and FALSE when it is obscured.
