p5.js ellipsoid() function

0 1 1 minute read

The ellipsoid() function in p5.js is used to draw an ellipsoid with given radius.

Syntax:

ellipsoid( radiusX, radiusY, radiusZ, detailX, detailY )

Parameters: This function accepts five parameters as mentioned above and described below:

radiusX: This parameter stores the x-radius of the ellipsoid.

radiusY: This parameter stores the y-radius of the ellipsoid.

radiusZ: This parameter stores the z-radius of the ellipsoid.

detailX: This parameter stores the number of segments in x-dimension.

detailY: This parameter stores the number of segments in y-dimension.

Below programs illustrate the ellipsoid() function in p5.js:

Example 1: This example uses ellipsoid() function to draw an ellipsoid with given radius.

function setup() { 
    
    // Create Canvas of size 600*600 
    createCanvas(600, 600, WEBGL); 
} 
   
function draw() { 
      
    // Set background color 
    background(200); 
     
    // Set fill color of ellipsoid 
    fill('green'); 
     
    // Call to ellipsoid function 
    ellipsoid(90, 75, 32, 12, 12); 
} 

Output:

Example 2: This example uses ellipsoid() function to draw an ellipsoid with given radius.

function setup() { 
    
    // Create Canvas of size 600*600 
    createCanvas(600, 600, WEBGL); 
} 
   
function draw() { 
      
    // Set background color 
    background(200); 
     
    // Set fill color of ellipsoid 
    fill('yellow'); 
     
    // Rotate  
    rotateX(frameCount * 0.01); 
    rotate(frameCount*0.03); 
     
    // Call to ellipsoid function 
    ellipsoid(190, 135, 130); 
} 

Output:
