Current boids are emphasized, velocity arrows follow species colours, and recent trails remain faint so current flock state stays readable. Live WebGL widgets are disabled during CRAN, package checks, and CI. Rich local or pkgdown rendering requires `GGWEBGL_EVAL_COVERAGE_VIGNETTE=true` and `GGWEBGL_EVAL_LIVE_WIDGETS=true`. ```{r, eval = ggwebgl_eval_code} if (!boids4r_available) { cat("boids4R is unavailable, so live 3D boids widgets are skipped.\n") } else if (!ggwebgl_eval_widgets) { cat("boids4R is available, but live 3D boids widgets are skipped because live widget evaluation is disabled.\n") } else { cat("boids4R is available; live 3D boids widgets will be rendered below.\n") } ``` ```{r, include = FALSE, eval = ggwebgl_eval_code} render_3d_boids_scenario <- function(name, n, seed) { sim <- boids4R::boids_scenario( name, n = n, steps = 240L, record_every = 4L, seed = seed ) spec <- ggWebGL:::ggwebgl_boids_display_spec( sim, boid_size = 4.0, prey_size = 4.8, predator_size = 7.5, current_alpha = 0.95, trail_alpha = 0.18, vector_mode = "current", vector_colour_mode = "species", vector_every = 1L, vector_alpha = 0.68, vector_width = 1.25, vector_scale = 0.11, obstacle_mode = "ring", obstacle_segments = 48L, obstacle_alpha = 0.9, trail = "recent", trail_length = 32L, shader = "default", speed = 1.4, fps = 24L ) spec$labels$title <- paste("boids4R", name) ggWebGL::ggWebGL(spec, height = 540) } ``` ## Murmuration 3D ```{r murmuration-3d, eval = ggwebgl_eval_widgets} if (!boids4r_available) { cat("Murmuration widget skipped.\n") } else { render_3d_boids_scenario("murmuration_3d", n = 240L, seed = 114L) } ``` ## Mixed Species 3D ```{r mixed-species-3d, eval = ggwebgl_eval_widgets} if (!boids4r_available) { cat("Mixed-species widget skipped.\n") } else { render_3d_boids_scenario("mixed_species_3d", n = 210L, seed = 115L) } ```
