EllipsoidGeometry

new EllipsoidGeometry

A description of an ellipsoid centered at the origin.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`options.radii`	Cartesian3	<optional>	Cartesian3(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)	The radii of the ellipsoid in the x, y, and z directions.
`options.stackPartitions`	Number	<optional>	64	The number of times to partition the ellipsoid into stacks.
`options.slicePartitions`	Number	<optional>	64	The number of times to partition the ellipsoid into radial slices.
`options.vertexFormat`	VertexFormat	<optional>	VertexFormat.DEFAULT	The vertex attributes to be computed.

Throws:

DeveloperError : options.slicePartitions cannot be less than three.
DeveloperError : options.stackPartitions cannot be less than three.

Example

var ellipsoid = new EllipsoidGeometry({
  vertexFormat : VertexFormat.POSITION_ONLY,
  radii : new Cartesian3(1000000.0, 500000.0, 500000.0)
});
var geometry = EllipsoidGeometry.createGeometry(ellipsoid);
