fatal error crash in r studio upon using plot_3d

[mathewsjoyy]

I have installed rayshader on R studio 4.2.2 using #remotes::install_github("tylermorganwall/rayshader")

However I have gone to plot a 3d plot and the graph opens in an external rgl window and shows the plot, but after 2-3 seconds, I get an error saying R Session Aborted and R encountered a fatal error.

I get the error upon using the below code :

matrix |>
  height_shade() |>
  plot_3d(heightmap = matrix,
          zscale = 100)

I get an identical error if I manually close XQuartz while my R session is open so maybe it's an issue with XQuartz?

What is XQuartz?

XQuartz is the X11 server on MacOS that is used by the underlying graphics package (rgl). If you are on Windows or Linux you won't be using it.

Please run sessionInfo() and provide the output here.

FYI, there was a regression that causes random crashes in XQuartz on M1 macs that can be fixed by updating to the latest version (https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.8.5_beta3.html).

I have the same issue when trying to use plot_3d, with rayshader installed from github and updating to newest R and RStudio versions.

The code I was running is below, with the shapefile downloaded from the NPS: https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2223248

library(sf)
library(rayshader)
library(tidyverse)
library(elevatr)

(modify based on where you downloaded shapefile:)
moj <- st_read("data/mojave/moja_boundary.shp")

moj_elev <- get_elev_raster(moj, z = 10, clip = "location")
mat <- rayshader::raster_to_matrix(moj_elev)

mat %>% rayshader::height_shade() %>% rayshader::plot_3d(heightmap = mat)
