Generate a cone mesh — generate_cone • scimesh

Creates a cone from base to tip with the given base radius, subdivided into segments around the axis. The base cap is included.

Usage

generate_cone(base, tip, radius = 0.5, segments = 32, color = c(1, 1, 1, 1))

Arguments

base: Length-3 vector: centre of the circular base.
tip: Length-3 vector: tip of the cone.
radius: Base radius.
segments: Subdivision count (default 32).
color: Length-4 RGBA colour.

Value

A mesh descriptor list.

Examples

mesh <- generate_cone(c(0, -1, 0), c(0, 1, 0), radius = 0.8)
nrow(mesh$vertices)
