SphereGeometry

A class for generating a sphere geometry.

Code Example

const geometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry( 15, 32, 16 );
const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0xffff00 } );
const sphere = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material );
scene.add( sphere );

Constructor

new SphereGeometry( radius : number, widthSegments : number, heightSegments : number, phiStart : number, phiLength : number, thetaStart : number, thetaLength : number )

Constructs a new sphere geometry.

radius | The sphere radius. Default is 1.
---|---
widthSegments | The number of horizontal segments. Minimum value is 3. Default is 32.
heightSegments | The number of vertical segments. Minimum value is 2. Default is 16.
phiStart | The horizontal starting angle in radians. Default is 0.
phiLength | The horizontal sweep angle size. Default is Math.PI*2.
thetaStart | The vertical starting angle in radians. Default is 0.
thetaLength | The vertical sweep angle size. Default is Math.PI.

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 ) : SphereGeometry

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.
