An overall leaner package to ensure optimal performance and remove experimental features.
Updated documentation to increase accessibility and usability.
Optional new coordinate system to allow for varying piece shape and 1-height plates & pieces. (Most bricks are 3-height)
New shapes! Plates, cheese slopes, round 1x1 bricks, conical 1x1 bricks.
Removed bricks_from_rayshader() and build_bricks_rayshader() to decrease the complexity of package.
build_bricks() now renders models in {rgl}, rather than {rayshader}. Most options for the rendering have changed. Use build_brick_rayshader() for previous output.build_colors() for list of color names.Breaking: Pretty much EVERY function. Seriously, check out the README and start fresh.
Breaking: Data “lego_colors.rda” has been updated with more accurate RGB values and new brickrID numbers. This will impact previously created mosaics and 3D models.
bricks_from_mosaic().brick_res input options to render models in higher definition (‘sd’, ‘hd’, ‘uhd’)bricks_from_rayshader() to render LEGO models from rayshader plot_3d() input.build_instructions generates building instructions for 3D models, as well as mosaics.geom_brick_col for bar charts in the shape of bricks. Negative values are fine, but position = stack is not available.coord_brick to prevent chart brick distortion. coord_brick_flip for horizontal bars.scale_fill_brick and theme_brick for different LEGO color options.bricks_from_excel() as a way to decrease the starting cost of using brickr.bricks_from_coords() function to convert a long data frame with x, y, z, and Color columns into input for display_bricks().NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
