SphereGeometry

new SphereGeometry

A description of a sphere centered at the origin.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`options.radius`	Number	<optional>	1.0	The radius of the sphere.
`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 sphere = new Cesium.SphereGeometry({
  radius : 100.0,
  vertexFormat : Cesium.VertexFormat.POSITION_ONLY
});
var geometry = Cesium.SphereGeometry.createGeometry(sphere);
