CircleOutlineGeometry

new CircleOutlineGeometry

A description of the outline of 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.extrudedHeight`	Number	<optional>	0.0	The height of the extrusion relative to the ellipsoid.
`options.numberOfVerticalLines`	Number	<optional>	16	Number of lines to draw between the top and bottom of an extruded circle.

Throws:

DeveloperError : center is required.
DeveloperError : radius is required.
DeveloperError : radius must be greater than zero.
DeveloperError : granularity must be greater than zero.

Example

// Create a circle.
var ellipsoid = Ellipsoid.WGS84;
var circle = new CircleOutlineGeometry({
  ellipsoid : ellipsoid,
  center : ellipsoid.cartographicToCartesian(Cartographic.fromDegrees(-75.59777, 40.03883)),
  radius : 100000.0
});
var geometry = CircleOutlineGeometry.createGeometry(circle);

Methods

<static> createGeometry

Computes the geometric representation of an outline of a circle on an ellipsoid, including its vertices, indices, and a bounding sphere.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`circleGeometry`	CircleOutlineGeometry	A description of the circle.

Returns:

Geometry The computed vertices and indices.
