new Cesium.CylinderGeometry(options)
engine/Source/Core/CylinderGeometry.js 50

A description of a cylinder.
Name Type Description
options object Object with the following properties:
Name Type Default Description
length number The length of the cylinder.
topRadius number The radius of the top of the cylinder.
bottomRadius number The radius of the bottom of the cylinder.
slices number 128 optional The number of edges around the perimeter of the cylinder.
vertexFormat VertexFormat VertexFormat.DEFAULT optional The vertex attributes to be computed.
Throws:
Example:
// create cylinder geometry
const cylinder = new Cesium.CylinderGeometry({
    length: 200000,
    topRadius: 80000,
    bottomRadius: 200000,
});
const geometry = Cesium.CylinderGeometry.createGeometry(cylinder);

Methods

static Cesium.CylinderGeometry.createGeometry(cylinderGeometry) → Geometry|undefined
engine/Source/Core/CylinderGeometry.js 199

Computes the geometric representation of a cylinder, including its vertices, indices, and a bounding sphere.
Name Type Description
cylinderGeometry CylinderGeometry A description of the cylinder.
Returns:
The computed vertices and indices.

static Cesium.CylinderGeometry.pack(value, array, startingIndex) → Array.<number>
engine/Source/Core/CylinderGeometry.js 108

Stores the provided instance into the provided array.
Name Type Default Description
value CylinderGeometry The value to pack.
array Array.<number> The array to pack into.
startingIndex number 0 optional The index into the array at which to start packing the elements.
Returns:
The array that was packed into

static Cesium.CylinderGeometry.unpack(array, startingIndex, result) → CylinderGeometry
engine/Source/Core/CylinderGeometry.js 150

Retrieves an instance from a packed array.
Name Type Default Description
array Array.<number> The packed array.
startingIndex number 0 optional The starting index of the element to be unpacked.
result CylinderGeometry optional The object into which to store the result.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new CylinderGeometry instance if one was not provided.
