Creates a pyramid object on the terrain.
createPyramid(position, width, depth, height, [lineColor], [fillColor], [name]);
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
position |
The position of the object, defined by its coordinates in the 3D world Can be one of the following: SGCoord3D, SGCoord2D, SGPosition |
|
width |
The width of the object |
|
depth |
The depth of the object |
|
height |
The height of the object from top to bottom (not its height above the ground) |
|
lineColor |
Optional, default: sgLime The color of the object outline Can be one of the following: SGColor, HTML color string (e.g., “#FF0000”), a number that represents ABGR color (e.g., 0xAA0000FF) or one of the predefined Skyline Globe colors (e.g., sgRed). For a complete list of the predefined colors, see Skyline Globe Colors |
|
fillColor |
Optional, default: sgDimgray The color of the object filling Can be one of the following: SGColor, HTML color string (e.g., “#FF0000”), a number that represents ABGR color (e.g., 0xAA0000FF) or one of the predefined Skyline Globe colors (e.g., sgRed). For a complete list of the predefined colors, see Skyline Globe Colors |
|
name |
Optional The node name |
Return Value
An SGNode object. If the method fails, the return value is null. SGWorld.lastError will contain the failure reason.
Remarks
To modify other properties of the pyramid, access the node innerObj. See SGNode.innerObj property and ITerrain3DRectBase5 interface for more details.
Unlike a 2D object (e.g., rectangle), a 3D object has volume and cannot be drawn on the terrain surface. Therefore, if specifying the position of a 3D object using SGCoord2D, its height will be set to 0 and its height type will we set to sgHeightRelative.
