Static p5_sys::global::torus

pub static torus: TorusInternalType

Draw a torus with given radius and tube radius

DetailX and detailY determine the number of subdivisions in the x-dimension and the y-dimension of a torus. More subdivisions make the torus appear to be smoother. The default and maximum values for detailX and detailY are 24 and 16, respectively. Setting them to relatively small values like 4 and 6 allows you to create new shapes other than a torus.

Examples

// draw a spinning torus
// with ring radius 30 and tube radius 15
function setup() {
  createCanvas(100, 100, WEBGL);
}

function draw() {
  background(205, 102, 94);
  rotateX(frameCount * 0.01);
  rotateY(frameCount * 0.01);
  torus(30, 15);
}

// slide to see how detailX works
let detailX;
function setup() {
  createCanvas(100, 100, WEBGL);
  detailX = createSlider(3, 24, 3);
  detailX.position(10, height + 5);
  detailX.style('width', '80px');
}

function draw() {
  background(205, 102, 94);
  rotateY(millis() / 1000);
  torus(30, 15, detailX.value(), 12);
}

// slide to see how detailY works
let detailY;
function setup() {
  createCanvas(100, 100, WEBGL);
  detailY = createSlider(3, 16, 3);
  detailY.position(10, height + 5);
  detailY.style('width', '80px');
}

function draw() {
  background(205, 102, 94);
  rotateY(millis() / 1000);
  torus(30, 15, 16, detailY.value());
}

Parameters

radius? radius of the whole ring

tubeRadius? radius of the tube

detailX? number of segments in x-dimension, the more segments the smoother geometry default is 24

detailY? number of segments in y-dimension, the more segments the smoother geometry default is 16
