BufferGeometry

CircleGeometry

CircleGeometry is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry. It is constructed from a number of triangular segments that are oriented around a central point and extend as far out as a given radius. It is built counter-clockwise from a start angle and a given central angle. It can also be used to create regular polygons, where the number of segments determines the number of sides.

Code Example

const geometry = new v3d.CircleGeometry(5, 32); const material = new v3d.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0xffff00 }); const circle = new v3d.Mesh(geometry, material); scene.add(circle);

Constructor

CircleGeometry(radius : Float, segments : Integer, thetaStart : Float, thetaLength : Float)

radius — Radius of the circle, default = 1.
segments — Number of segments (triangles), minimum = 3, default = 32.
thetaStart — Start angle for first segment, default = 0 (three o'clock position).
thetaLength — The central angle, often called theta, of the circular sector. The default is 2*Pi, which makes for a complete circle.

Properties

See the base BufferGeometry class for common properties.

.parameters : Object

An object with a property for each of the constructor parameters. Any modification after instantiation does not change the geometry.

Methods
