PrimitiveType

Core/PrimitiveType.js 8
The type of a geometric primitive, i.e., points, lines, and triangles.
Properties:
Name Type Description
POINTS Number Points primitive where each vertex (or index) is a separate point.
LINES Number Lines primitive where each two vertices (or indices) is a line segment. Line segments are not necessarily connected.
LINE_LOOP Number Line loop primitive where each vertex (or index) after the first connects a line to the previous vertex, and the last vertex implicitly connects to the first.
LINE_STRIP Number Line strip primitive where each vertex (or index) after the first connects a line to the previous vertex.
TRIANGLES Number Triangles primitive where each three vertices (or indices) is a triangle. Triangles do not necessarily share edges.
TRIANGLE_STRIP Number Triangle strip primitive where each vertex (or index) after the first two connect to the previous two vertices forming a triangle. For example, this can be used to model a wall.
TRIANGLE_FAN Number Triangle fan primitive where each vertex (or index) after the first two connect to the previous vertex and the first vertex forming a triangle. For example, this can be used to model a cone or circle.
