vtkGlobeSource will generate any "rectangular" patch of the globe given its Longitude-Latitude extent. It adds two point scalar arrays Longitude and Latitude to the output. These arrays can be transformed to generate texture coordinates for any texture map. This source is imperfect near the poles as implmented. It should really reduce the longitude resolution as the triangles become slivers.
To create an instance of class vtkGlobeSource, simply invoke its constructor as follows
obj = vtkGlobeSource
The class vtkGlobeSource has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, obj
is an instance of the vtkGlobeSource class.

double = obj.GetCurtainHeightMinValue ()
double = obj.GetCurtainHeightMaxValue ()
double = obj.GetCurtainHeight ()
obj.SetQuadrilateralTessellation (int )
- Cause the sphere to be tessellated with edges along the latitude and longitude lines. If off, triangles are generated at non-polar regions, which results in edges that are not parallel to latitude and longitude lines. If on, quadrilaterals are generated everywhere except at the poles. This can be useful for generating a wireframe sphere with natural latitude and longitude lines. int = obj.GetQuadrilateralTessellation ()
- Cause the sphere to be tessellated with edges along the latitude and longitude lines. If off, triangles are generated at non-polar regions, which results in edges that are not parallel to latitude and longitude lines. If on, quadrilaterals are generated everywhere except at the poles. This can be useful for generating a wireframe sphere with natural latitude and longitude lines. obj.QuadrilateralTessellationOn ()
- Cause the sphere to be tessellated with edges along the latitude and longitude lines. If off, triangles are generated at non-polar regions, which results in edges that are not parallel to latitude and longitude lines. If on, quadrilaterals are generated everywhere except at the poles. This can be useful for generating a wireframe sphere with natural latitude and longitude lines. obj.QuadrilateralTessellationOff ()
- Cause the sphere to be tessellated with edges along the latitude and longitude lines. If off, triangles are generated at non-polar regions, which results in edges that are not parallel to latitude and longitude lines. If on, quadrilaterals are generated everywhere except at the poles.
