EllipsoidGeometry

new EllipsoidGeometry(options)

A description of an ellipsoid centered at the origin.
Name Type Description
options Object optional Object with the following properties:
Name Type Default Description
radii Cartesian3 Cartesian3(1.0, 1.0, 1.0) optional The radii of the ellipsoid in the x, y, and z directions.
stackPartitions Number 64 optional The number of times to partition the ellipsoid into stacks.
slicePartitions Number 64 optional The number of times to partition the ellipsoid into radial slices.
vertexFormat VertexFormat VertexFormat.DEFAULT optional The vertex attributes to be computed.
Throws:
Example:
var ellipsoid = new Cesium.EllipsoidGeometry({
  vertexFormat : Cesium.VertexFormat.POSITION_ONLY,
  radii : new Cesium.Cartesian3(1000000.0, 500000.0, 500000.0)
});
var geometry = Cesium.EllipsoidGeometry.createGeometry(ellipsoid);
