In scimesh: Headless Publication-Quality 3D Mesh Rendering Engine

Generate a torus mesh

Description

Creates a torus (donut shape) centred at center, lying in the XZ plane.

Usage

generate_torus(
  center = c(0, 0, 0),
  major_radius = 1,
  minor_radius = 0.3,
  major_segments = 32,
  minor_segments = 16,
  color = c(0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1)
)

Arguments

center	Length-3 vector: centre of the torus.
major_radius	Radius of the ring (tube path).
minor_radius	Radius of the tube cross-section.
major_segments	Number of segments around the ring.
minor_segments	Number of segments around the tube.
color	Length-4 RGBA colour.

Value

A mesh descriptor list.

Examples

mesh <- generate_torus(major_radius = 2, minor_radius = 0.5)
nrow(mesh$vertices)
