SphereGeometry

new SphereGeometry(options)

A description of a sphere centered at the origin.
Name Type Description
options Object optional Object with the following properties:
Name Type Default Description
radius Number 1.0 optional The radius of the sphere.
stackPartitions Number 64 optional The number of times to partition the ellipsoid into stacks.
slicePartitions Number 64 optional The number of times to partition the ellipsoid into radial slices.
vertexFormat VertexFormat VertexFormat.DEFAULT optional The vertex attributes to be computed.
Throws:
Example:
var sphere = new Cesium.SphereGeometry({
  radius : 100.0,
  vertexFormat : Cesium.VertexFormat.POSITION_ONLY
});
var geometry = Cesium.SphereGeometry.createGeometry(sphere);
