(demo)

Creates an indexed quad mesh (two triangles), with normals and UVs. It sits on the XY plane with Z=0, and positions ranging from -1.0 to 1.0.

Example

var mesh = require('primitive-quad')()
 
// the simplicial complex
console.log(mesh.positions, mesh.cells)
 
// rendering attributes
console.log(mesh.uvs)
console.log(mesh.normals)

Usage

NPM

mesh = quad([scale])

Creates a new indexed quad along the XY plane, with an optional scale number (defaults to 1).

scale can also be an [x, y] array to scale each axes independently.

The vertices are in counter-clockwise order, the UV origin is top-left (0 - 1 range), and the normals are negative along the Z axis.

The returned mesh is an object with the following data:

{
  positions: [ [x, y, z], [x, y, z], ... ],
  cells: [ [a, b, c], [a, b, c], ... ],
  uvs: [ [u, v], [u, v], ... ],
  normals: [ [x, y, z], [x, y, z], ... ]
}
