CylinderGeometry

new CylinderGeometry

A description of a cylinder.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`options.length`	Number			The length of the cylinder.
`options.topRadius`	Number			The radius of the top of the cylinder.
`options.bottomRadius`	Number			The radius of the bottom of the cylinder.
`options.slices`	Number	<optional>	128	The number of edges around perimeter of the cylinder.
`options.vertexFormat`	VertexFormat	<optional>	VertexFormat.DEFAULT	The vertex attributes to be computed.

Throws:

DeveloperError : options.length must be greater than 0.
DeveloperError : options.topRadius must be greater than 0.
DeveloperError : options.bottomRadius must be greater than 0.
DeveloperError : bottomRadius and topRadius cannot both equal 0.
DeveloperError : options.slices must be greater that 3.

Example

// create cylinder geometry
var cylinder = new Cesium.CylinderGeometry({
    length: 200000,
    topRadius: 80000,
    bottomRadius: 200000,
});
var geometry = Cesium.CylinderGeometry.createGeometry(cylinder);
