Change globe radius

[wood1ouse]

Hi, thanks for this amazing component!

I am working on a planetary geospatial analysis application and want to display several planets of the solar system (only 1 displayed planet at a time). However, it is important for me to stick to the exact size of the planet.

I'm not very well versed in the details of Three.js and apologise if a similar question is out of scope, but is it possible to change the radius of the globe? (I need different radius for different planets).

If I set the globe as an ellipsoid using (x / a)^2 + (y / b)^2 + (z / c)^2 = 1, where x = y = z, and somehow I can create a geospatial projection of created globe (based on his x, y, z), then I think I can create correct coordinate systems for different planets.

@wood1ouse thanks for reaching out.

If you only need to show one planet at a time, I would suggest to calibrate the size of the planet on the canvas by setting the camera distance to the right amount. You can set it via pointOfView({ altitude: /* units of globe radii */ }).

@vasturiano I would also want the option to change the radius, since I hope the three js cartesian coordinate is aligned with the ecef coordinate

@H01001000 you can simply multiply your coordinates by the current set globe radius, which you can easily extract via getGlobeRadius().
