BoxOutlineGeometry

new Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry(options)
Core/BoxOutlineGeometry.js 37

A description of the outline of a cube centered at the origin.
Name Type Description
options Object Object with the following properties:
Name Type Description
minimum Cartesian3 The minimum x, y, and z coordinates of the box.
maximum Cartesian3 The maximum x, y, and z coordinates of the box.
Example:
const box = new Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry({
  maximum : new Cesium.Cartesian3(250000.0, 250000.0, 250000.0),
  minimum : new Cesium.Cartesian3(-250000.0, -250000.0, -250000.0)
});
const geometry = Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry.createGeometry(box);

Methods

static Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry.createGeometry(boxGeometry) → Geometry|undefined
Core/BoxOutlineGeometry.js 215

Computes the geometric representation of an outline of a box, including its vertices, indices, and a bounding sphere.
Name Type Description
boxGeometry BoxOutlineGeometry A description of the box outline.
Returns:
The computed vertices and indices.

static Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry.fromAxisAlignedBoundingBox(boundingBox) → BoxOutlineGeometry
Core/BoxOutlineGeometry.js 120

Creates an outline of a cube from the dimensions of an AxisAlignedBoundingBox.
Name Type Description
boundingBox AxisAlignedBoundingBox A description of the AxisAlignedBoundingBox.
Returns:
Example:
const aabb = Cesium.AxisAlignedBoundingBox.fromPoints(Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegreesArray([
     -72.0, 40.0,
     -70.0, 35.0,
     -75.0, 30.0,
     -70.0, 30.0,
     -68.0, 40.0
]));
const box = Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry.fromAxisAlignedBoundingBox(aabb);
See:

static Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry.fromDimensions(options) → BoxOutlineGeometry
Core/BoxOutlineGeometry.js 80

Creates an outline of a cube centered at the origin given its dimensions.
Name Type Description
options Object Object with the following properties:
Name Type Description
dimensions Cartesian3 The width, depth, and height of the box stored in the x, y, and z coordinates of the Cartesian3, respectively.
Returns:
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : All dimensions components must be greater than or equal to zero.
Example:
const box = Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry.fromDimensions({
  dimensions : new Cesium.Cartesian3(500000.0, 500000.0, 500000.0)
});
const geometry = Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry.createGeometry(box);

static Cesium.BoxOutlineGeometry.unpack(array, startingIndex, result) → BoxOutlineGeometry
Core/BoxOutlineGeometry.js 180

Retrieves an instance from a packed array.
Name Type Default Description
array Array.<Number> The packed array.
startingIndex Number 0 optional The starting index of the element to be unpacked.
result BoxOutlineGeometry optional The object into which to store the result.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new BoxOutlineGeometry instance if one was not provided.
