brickr 0.1.1.0000

  • 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.

Documentation

  • pkgdown site
  • Vignettes

Mosaics

  • New rendering of mosaics in ggplot2. Includes embossed text with custom labels.
  • Color_palette allows option to choose brick colors by rarity. ‘universal’ (most common), ‘generic’, and ‘special’ (least common).
  • New color matching options to convert image to available brick colors. Previous option still available, but results will look different due to changed RGB values.
  • Color dithering option for large, photo-realistic mosaics.
  • Updated brick collection algorithm to allow for custom brick input.
  • 3D mosaics have been rewritten as 3D models using plates with bricks_from_mosaic().

3D Models

  • 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.
  • Option to use plates rather than bricks. Combining the two involves some hacking.
  • Updated brick collection algorithm to allow for custom brick input.
  • Updated brick collection algorithm staggers bricks over layer, though still prioritizes larger bricks.
  • build_instructions generates building instructions for 3D models, as well as mosaics.

ggplot Extension

  • 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.

TO DO

  • ggplot - continuous scale

  • Vignettes

    • 3D model from mosaics + rayshader
    • IRL

  • Website

  • Check() breaks at the size check

TO DO in the future

  • Negative bricks are “underside”
  • bricks_from_models
  • CRAN!

brickr 0.0.0.9200

brickr 0.0.0.9150

  • Added bricks_from_coords() function to convert a long data frame with x, y, z, and Color columns into input for display_bricks().
  • Aesthetic updates to the README and logo.
  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
