SphereOutlineGeometry

SphereOutlineGeometry

new

A description of the outline of a sphere.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
options.radius Number <optional>
1.0 The radius of the sphere.
options.stackPartitions Number <optional>
10 The count of stacks for the sphere (1 greater than the number of parallel lines).
options.slicePartitions Number <optional>
8 The count of slices for the sphere (Equal to the number of radial lines).
options.subdivisions Number <optional>
200 The number of points per line, determining the granularity of the curvature .
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : options.stackPartitions must be greater than or equal to one.
  • DeveloperError : options.slicePartitions must be greater than or equal to zero.
  • DeveloperError : options.subdivisions must be greater than or equal to zero.
Example
var sphere = new Cesium.SphereOutlineGeometry({
  radius : 100.0,
  stackPartitions : 6,
  slicePartitions: 5
});
var geometry = Cesium.SphereOutlineGeometry.createGeometry(sphere);
