p5.js ellipsoid() function

The ellipsoid() function in p5.js is used to draw an ellipsoid with given radius. Syntax:

ellipsoid( radiusX, radiusY, radiusZ, detailX, detailY )

Parameters: This function accepts five parameters as mentioned above and described below:

radiusX: This parameter stores the x-radius of the ellipsoid.

radiusY: This parameter stores the y-radius of the ellipsoid.

radiusZ: This parameter stores the z-radius of the ellipsoid.

detailX: This parameter stores the number of segments in x-dimension.

detailY: This parameter stores the number of segments in y-dimension.

Below programs illustrate the ellipsoid() function in p5.js: Example 1: This example uses ellipsoid() function to draw an ellipsoid with given radius.

javascript

function setup() {
  
    // Create Canvas of size 600*600
    createCanvas(600, 600, WEBGL);
}
 
function draw() {
    
    // Set background color
    background(200);
   
    // Set fill color of ellipsoid
    fill('green');
   
    // Call to ellipsoid function
    ellipsoid(90, 75, 32, 12, 12);
}

Output:

Example 2: This example uses ellipsoid() function to draw an ellipsoid with given radius.

javascript

function setup() {
  
    // Create Canvas of size 600*600
    createCanvas(600, 600, WEBGL);
}
 
function draw() {
    
    // Set background color
    background(200);
   
    // Set fill color of ellipsoid
    fill('yellow');
   
    // Rotate 
    rotateX(frameCount * 0.01);
    rotate(frameCount*0.03);
   
    // Call to ellipsoid function
    ellipsoid(190, 135, 130);
}

Output:
