)

static member CreateHemisphereLines : 
        graphicsDevice : GraphicsDevice * 
        numberOfSegments : int -> Submesh

Parameters

graphicsDevice: Type: GraphicsDevice
The graphics device.
numberOfSegments: Type: SystemInt32
The number of segments. This parameter controls the detail of the mesh.
