Function buildCylinderGeometry

Creates a cylinder-shaped geometry.

This function generates the geometry arrays required for a cylinder mesh. The cylinder can be configured in terms of its top and bottom radii, height, radial and height segments, and whether it has caps on its ends. It returns the geometry arrays, including vertex positions, normals, texture coordinates (UVs), and indices for the cylinder's faces.

Usage

const cylinderGeometryResult = buildCylinderGeometry({
    center: [0, 0, 0],        // Center of the cylinder
    radiusTop: 1,             // Radius of the top of the cylinder
    radiusBottom: 1,          // Radius of the bottom of the cylinder
    height: 2,                // Height of the cylinder
    radialSegments: 32,       // Number of segments around the cylinder
    heightSegments: 1,        // Number of segments vertically
    openEnded: false          // Whether the cylinder has caps at the ends
});

if (cylinderGeometryResult.ok) {
   const cylinderGeometry = cylinderGeometryResult.value;
   // Use cylinderGeometry here
} else {
   console.error("Error creating cylinder geometry:", cylinderGeometryResult.error);
}
