CircleGeometry

CircleGeometry

new

A Geometry that represents vertices and indices for a circle on the ellipsoid.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
options.center Cartesian3 The circle's center point in the fixed frame.
options.radius Number The radius in meters.
options.ellipsoid Ellipsoid <optional>
Ellipsoid.WGS84 The ellipsoid the circle will be on.
options.height Number <optional>
0.0 The height above the ellipsoid.
options.granularity Number <optional>
0.02 The angular distance between points on the circle in radians.
options.vertexFormat VertexFormat <optional>
VertexFormat.DEFAULT The vertex attributes to be computed.
options.extrudedHeight Number <optional>
0.0 The height of the extrusion relative to the ellipsoid.
options.stRotation Number <optional>
0.0 The rotation of the texture coordinates, in radians. A positive rotation is counter-clockwise.
Throws:
Example
// Create a circle.
var ellipsoid = Ellipsoid.WGS84;
var circle = new CircleGeometry({
  ellipsoid : ellipsoid,
  center : ellipsoid.cartographicToCartesian(Cartographic.fromDegrees(-75.59777, 40.03883)),
  radius : 100000.0
});

:GeometryAttributes

An object containing GeometryAttribute properties named after each of the true values of the VertexFormat option.
See:

:BoundingSphere

A tight-fitting bounding sphere that encloses the vertices of the geometry.

:Array

Index data that, along with Geometry#primitiveType, determines the primitives in the geometry.

:PrimitiveType

The type of primitives in the geometry. For this geometry, it is PrimitiveType.TRIANGLES.
