RectangleGeometry

new Cesium.RectangleGeometry(options)
engine/Source/Core/RectangleGeometry.js 1016

A description of a cartographic rectangle on an ellipsoid centered at the origin. Rectangle geometry can be rendered with both Primitive and GroundPrimitive.
Name Type Description
options object Object with the following properties:
Name Type Default Description
rectangle Rectangle A cartographic rectangle with north, south, east and west properties in radians.
vertexFormat VertexFormat VertexFormat.DEFAULT optional The vertex attributes to be computed.
ellipsoid Ellipsoid Ellipsoid.WGS84 optional The ellipsoid on which the rectangle lies.
granularity number CesiumMath.RADIANS_PER_DEGREE optional The distance, in radians, between each latitude and longitude. Determines the number of positions in the buffer.
height number 0.0 optional The distance in meters between the rectangle and the ellipsoid surface.
rotation number 0.0 optional The rotation of the rectangle, in radians. A positive rotation is counter-clockwise.
stRotation number 0.0 optional The rotation of the texture coordinates, in radians. A positive rotation is counter-clockwise.
extrudedHeight number optional The distance in meters between the rectangle's extruded face and the ellipsoid surface.
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : options.rectangle.north must be in the interval [-Pi/2, Pi/2].
  • DeveloperError : options.rectangle.south must be in the interval [-Pi/2, Pi/2].
  • DeveloperError : options.rectangle.east must be in the interval [-Pi, Pi].
  • DeveloperError : options.rectangle.west must be in the interval [-Pi, Pi].
  • DeveloperError : options.rectangle.north must be greater than options.rectangle.south.
Example:
// 1. create a rectangle
const rectangle = new Cesium.RectangleGeometry({
  ellipsoid : Cesium.Ellipsoid.WGS84,
  rectangle : Cesium.Rectangle.fromDegrees(-80.0, 39.0, -74.0, 42.0),
  height : 10000.0
});
const geometry = Cesium.RectangleGeometry.createGeometry(rectangle);

// 2. create an extruded rectangle without a top
const rectangle = new Cesium.RectangleGeometry({
  ellipsoid : Cesium.Ellipsoid.WGS84,
  rectangle : Cesium.Rectangle.fromDegrees(-80.0, 39.0, -74.0, 42.0),
  height : 10000.0,
  extrudedHeight: 300000
});
const geometry = Cesium.RectangleGeometry.createGeometry(rectangle);
