SurfaceExtentTriangulatorInitializer
====================================

.. py:class:: ansys.stk.core.graphics.SurfaceExtentTriangulatorInitializer

   Triangulates an extent on a central body into a triangle mesh and a surrounding boundary. The mesh is commonly visualized with the triangle mesh primitive or surface mesh primitive. The boundary is commonly visualized with the polyline primitive.

.. py:method:: compute_simple(self, central_body: str, extent: list) -> SurfaceTriangulatorResult
    :canonical: ansys.stk.core.graphics.SurfaceExtentTriangulatorInitializer.compute_simple

    Compute a triangulation on the specified centralBody for the specified extent. This is equivalent to calling Compute with an altitude of 0 and a granularity of 1 degree.

    :Parameters:

        **central_body** : :obj:`~str`

        **extent** : :obj:`~list`


    :Returns:

        :obj:`~SurfaceTriangulatorResult`

.. py:method:: compute(self, central_body: str, extent: list, altitude: float, granularity: float) -> SurfaceTriangulatorResult
    :canonical: ansys.stk.core.graphics.SurfaceExtentTriangulatorInitializer.compute

    Compute a triangulation on the specified centralBody for the specified extent.

    :Parameters:

        **central_body** : :obj:`~str`

        **extent** : :obj:`~list`

        **altitude** : :obj:`~float`

        **granularity** : :obj:`~float`


    :Returns:

        :obj:`~SurfaceTriangulatorResult`
