## Detailed Description

The SphereGeometry type is most commonly used internally by the SphereMesh type but can also be used in custom GeometryRenderer types.

## Property Documentation

### generateTangents : bool

Holds the value of the automatic tangent vectors generation flag. Tangent vectors are orthogonal to normal vectors.

### indexAttribute : Attribute `[read-only]`

Holds the geometry index attribute.

### normalAttribute : Attribute `[read-only]`

Holds the geometry normal attribute.

### positionAttribute : Attribute `[read-only]`

Holds the geometry position attribute.

### radius : real

Holds the radius of the sphere.

### rings : int

Holds the number of rings in the sphere.

### slices : int

Holds the number of slices in the sphere.

### tangentAttribute : Attribute `[read-only]`

Holds the geometry tangent attribute.

### texCoordAttribute : Attribute `[read-only]`

Holds the geometry texture coordinate attribute.
