Animate the System Over Time in Interactive 3D — animate_system

The 3D counterpart to [animate_system()]. Builds a `plotly` 3D scene with the bodies as moving markers and an interactive Play / Pause control plus a time slider. Optionally shows the full orbit paths drawn faintly behind.

Usage

animate_system_3d(sim_data, fps = 20, duration = 10, trails = FALSE)

Arguments

sim_data: A tibble output from [simulate_system()].
fps: Frames per second target for playback. Default `20`. Combined with `duration`, controls how many time steps are sampled into frames.
duration: Total playback length in seconds. Default `10`.
trails: Logical. If `TRUE` (the default), the full orbit paths are drawn faintly behind the animated markers.

Value

A `plotly` HTML widget with a built-in play button and time slider.

Examples

# \donttest{
create_system() |>
  add_body("Earth", mass = mass_earth) |>
  add_body("Moon",  mass = mass_moon,
           x = distance_earth_moon, vy = speed_moon, vz = 100) |>
  simulate_system(time_step = seconds_per_hour, duration = seconds_per_day * 30) |>
  animate_system_3d()
