Class Sphere3D

public class Sphere3D

extends GRShadedShape

This actor contains the geometry and appearance specifications for a sphere. The output port is used to connect this actor to the Java3D scene graph. This actor may be used along with the Scale3D transformer to produce ellipsoid shapes. This actor will only have meaning in the GR domain. Note that most of the parameters are described in the base class documentation.

divisions

public VisualSim.data.expr.Parameter divisions

The number of divisions in the sphere. This is an integer with default value "max(6, roundToInt(radius * 300))". This parameter determines the resolution of the sphere, which is approximated as a surface composed of triangular facets. Increasing this value makes the surface smoother, but also increases the cost of rendering.

radius

public VisualSim.data.expr.Parameter radius

The radius of the sphere. This is a double with default 0.1.
