Definition

Visual Basic Public Shared Function Sphere( _
    ByVal device As Device, _
    ByVal radius As Single, _
    ByVal slices As Integer, _
    ByVal stacks As Integer _
) As Mesh
C# public static Mesh Sphere(
    Device device,
    float radius,
    int slices,
    int stacks
);
C++ public:
static MeshSphere(
    Devicedevice,
    float radius,
    int slices,
    int stacks
);
JScript public static function Sphere(
    device : Device,
    radius : float,
    slices : int,
    stacks : int
) : Mesh;

Parameters

device Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device
A Device object that represents the device associated with the created sphere mesh.
radius System.Single
Radius of the sphere. This value should be greater than or equal to 0.0f.
slices System.Int32
Number of slices around the main axis.
stacks System.Int32
Number of stacks along the main axis.

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Mesh
A Mesh object that represents the sphere mesh.

Remarks

The created sphere is centered at the origin, and its axis is aligned with the z-axis.
