MeshHelper.CreateIcosphere Method

MeshHelperCreateIcosphere Method

Creates a new submesh that represents a sphere using triangles. (The sphere is centered at the origin. Radius = 1. The sphere is generated by subdividing an icosahedron.)

Namespace: DigitalRune.Graphics
Assembly: DigitalRune.Graphics (in DigitalRune.Graphics.dll) Version: 1.2.0.0 (1.2.1.14562)

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static Submesh CreateIcosphere(
	GraphicsDevice graphicsDevice,
	int numberOfSubdivisions
)

Public Shared Function CreateIcosphere ( 
	graphicsDevice As GraphicsDevice,
	numberOfSubdivisions As Integer
) As Submesh

public:
static Submesh^ CreateIcosphere(
	GraphicsDevice^ graphicsDevice, 
	int numberOfSubdivisions
)

static member CreateIcosphere : 
        graphicsDevice : GraphicsDevice * 
        numberOfSubdivisions : int -> Submesh

Parameters

graphicsDevice: Type: GraphicsDevice
The graphics device.
numberOfSubdivisions: Type: SystemInt32
The number of subdivisions [0, 5]. (See remarks of CreateIcosphere(Int32, Boolean).) This parameter controls the detail of the mesh.

Return Value

Type: Submesh
A new Submesh that represents an icosphere.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	graphicsDevice is .
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	numberOfSubdivisions is less than 1.

Remarks

If the returned Submesh is not going to be modified, then it is better to call GetIcosphere(IGraphicsService) to retrieve a shared Submesh instance.
