EllipsoidTriangulatorInitializer

class ansys.stk.core.graphics.EllipsoidTriangulatorInitializer

Triangulates an ellipsoid. It is recommended to visualize the ellipsoid using a solid primitive. Although, if only the fill is desired for visualization, a triangle mesh primitive with render back then front faces set to true can be used…

Overview

Methods

compute	Compute the triangulation for an ellipsoid with the specified radii, centered at the origin.
compute_simple	Compute the triangulation for an ellipsoid with the specified radii, centered at the origin, using 32 slices and 16 stacks.
