Sphere
Overview
Sphere is a class in Aspose.3D FOSS for Python.
Inherits from: Primitive.
Sphere provides methods to generate a mesh with to_mesh, access deformers, and manage vertex elements, while exposing geometry parameters such as radius, segment counts, and angular ranges.
This class declares 17 methods for Sphere objects in Python programs.
Available methods include: __init__, __repr__, add_element, create_element, create_element_uv, find_property, get_bounding_box, get_deformers, get_element, get_entity_renderer_key, get_property, get_vertex_element_of_uv, and 3 additional methods.
Public members are accessible to any Python application after installing the Aspose.3D FOSS for Python package.
Properties: cast_shadows, control_points, deformers, excluded, height_segments, name, and 13 more.
