EllipsoidGeometry

EllipsoidGeometry

new

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