Points

A class for displaying points or point clouds.

Constructor

new Points( geometry : BufferGeometry, material : Material | Array.<Material> )

Constructs a new point cloud.

geometry | The points geometry.
---|---
material | The points material.

Properties

.geometry : BufferGeometry

The points geometry.

.isPoints : boolean (readonly)

This flag can be used for type testing.

Default is true.

.material : Material | Array.<Material>

The line material.

Default is PointsMaterial.

.morphTargetDictionary : Object.<String, number> | undefined

A dictionary representing the morph targets in the geometry. The key is the morph targets name, the value its attribute index. This member is undefined by default and only set when morph targets are detected in the geometry.

Default is undefined.

.morphTargetInfluences : Array.<number> | undefined

An array of weights typically in the range [0,1] that specify how much of the morph is applied. This member is undefined by default and only set when morph targets are detected in the geometry.

Default is undefined.

Methods

.raycast( raycaster : Raycaster, intersects : Array.<Object> )

Computes intersection points between a casted ray and this point cloud.

raycaster | The raycaster.
---|---
intersects | The target array that holds the intersection points.

Overrides: Object3D#raycast

.updateMorphTargets()

Sets the values of Points#morphTargetDictionary and Points#morphTargetInfluences to make sure existing morph targets can influence this 3D object.
