LatheGeometry

Creates meshes with axial symmetry like vases. The lathe rotates around the Y axis.

Code Example

const points = [];
for ( let i = 0; i < 10; i ++ ) {
	points.push( new THREE.Vector2( Math.sin( i * 0.2 ) * 10 + 5, ( i - 5 ) * 2 ) );
}
const geometry = new THREE.LatheGeometry( points );
const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0xffff00 } );
const lathe = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material );
scene.add( lathe );

Constructor

new LatheGeometry( points : Array.<(Vector2|Vector3)>, segments : number, phiStart : number, phiLength : number )

Constructs a new lathe geometry.

points | An array of points in 2D space. The x-coordinate of each point must be greater than zero.
---|---
segments | The number of circumference segments to generate. Default is 12.
phiStart | The starting angle in radians. Default is 0.
phiLength | The radian (0 to 2PI) range of the lathed section 2PI is a closed lathe, less than 2PI is a portion. Default is Math.PI*2.

Properties

.parameters : Object

Holds the constructor parameters that have been used to generate the geometry. Any modification after instantiation does not change the geometry.

Static Methods

.fromJSON( data : Object ) : LatheGeometry

Factory method for creating an instance of this class from the given JSON object.

data | A JSON object representing the serialized geometry.
---|---

Returns: A new instance.
