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.
