CircleOutlineGeometry

new

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:
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);
