Methods

<static> createGeometry

Computes the geometric representation of a polygon, including its vertices, indices, and a bounding sphere.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
polygonGeometry	PolygonGeometry	A description of the polygon.

Throws:

• DeveloperError : At least three positions are required.
• DeveloperError : Duplicate positions result in not enough positions to form a polygon.

Returns:

Geometry The computed vertices and indices.

<static> fromPositions

A description of a polygon from an array of positions.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
options.positions	Array			An array of positions that defined the corner points of the polygon.
options.height	Number	<optional>	0.0	The height of the polygon.
options.extrudedHeight	Number	<optional>		The height of the polygon extrusion.
options.vertexFormat	VertexFormat	<optional>	VertexFormat.DEFAULT	The vertex attributes to be computed.
options.stRotation	Number	<optional>	0.0	The rotation of the texture coordiantes, in radians. A positive rotation is counter-clockwise.
options.ellipsoid	Ellipsoid	<optional>	Ellipsoid.WGS84	The ellipsoid to be used as a reference.
options.granularity	Number	<optional>	CesiumMath.RADIANS_PER_DEGREE	The distance, in radians, between each latitude and longitude. Determines the number of positions in the buffer.
options.perPositionHeight	Boolean	<optional>	false	Use the height of options.positions for each position instead of using options.height to determine the height.

Example

// create a polygon from points
var polygon = Cesium.PolygonGeometry.fromPositions({
    positions : ellipsoid.cartographicArrayToCartesianArray([
        Cesium.Cartographic.fromDegrees(-72.0, 40.0),
        Cesium.Cartographic.fromDegrees(-70.0, 35.0),
        Cesium.Cartographic.fromDegrees(-75.0, 30.0),
        Cesium.Cartographic.fromDegrees(-70.0, 30.0),
        Cesium.Cartographic.fromDegrees(-68.0, 40.0)
    ])
});
var geometry = Cesium.PolygonGeometry.createGeometry(polygon);
