ThreeJS Conic Polygon Geometry

A ThreeJS geometry class for drawing polygons on a sphere using cones. Provides both ConicPolygonGeometry and ConicPolygonBufferGeometry.

Examples:

• Natural Earth Countries (source)
• Countries GDP per Capita (source)

Quick start

import { ConicPolygonGeometry } from 'three-conic-polygon-geometry';

or

const { ConicPolygonGeometry } = require('three-conic-polygon-geometry');

or even

<script src="//unpkg.com/three-conic-polygon-geometry"></script>

then

const myMesh = new THREE.Mesh(
    new THREE.ConicPolygonGeometry(polygonGeoJson),
    new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 'blue' })
);

API reference

Constructor

ConicPolygonGeometry(polygonGeoJson: GeoJson polygon coordinates, bottomHeight: Float, topHeight: Float, closedBottom: Boolean, closedTop: Boolean, includeSides: Boolean)

polygonGeoJson: Coordinates array as specified in GeoJson geometry.coordinates for type: Polygon. The first item is the polygon contour, additional items are the inner holes. bottomHeight: Starting height of the cone. Default is 0. topHeight: Ending height of the cone. Default is 1. closedBottom: Whether to add a cap surface on the cone bottom. Default is true. closedTop: Whether to add a cap surface on the cone top. Default is true. includeSides: Whether to include the side surfaces of the cone. Default is true.

Properties

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

Groups

The geometry supports three distinct groups to which different materials can be applied.

0: The side surface of the cone. 1: The bottom surface of the cone. 2: The top surface of the cone.
