在下面的代码中,为什么我们需要切片?它有什么用?

int esGenSphere(int numSlices, float radius, float **vertices,
float **texCoords, uint16_t **indices, int *numVertices_out) {
int numParallels = numSlices / 2;
int numVertices = (numParallels + 1) * (numSlices + 1);
int numIndices = numParallels * numSlices * 6;
float angleStep = (2.0f * ES_PI) / ((float) numSlices);
if (vertices != NULL) {
*vertices = malloc(sizeof(float) * 3 * numVertices);
}
if (texCoords != NULL) {
*texCoords = malloc(sizeof(float) * 2 * numVertices);
}
if (indices != NULL) {
*indices = malloc(sizeof(uint16_t) * numIndices);
}
for (int i = 0; i < numParallels + 1; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < numSlices + 1; j++) {

(*vertices)[vertex + 2] = radius * sinf(angleStep * (float)i) * cosf(angleStep * (float)j);
}
if (texCoords) {
int texIndex = (i * (numSlices + 1) + j) * 2;
(*texCoords)[texIndex + 0] = (float)j / (float)numSlices;
(*texCoords)[texIndex + 1] = 1.0f - ((float)i / (float)numParallels);
}
}
}
// Generate the indices
if (indices != NULL) {
uint16_t *indexBuf = (*indices);

}
}
}
if (numVertices_out) {
*numVertices_out = numVertices;
}
return numIndices;
}

该代码生成一个如下所示的球体网格:

如图所示,有水平平行线和垂直线,它们都在两极相遇。水平线通常称为 parallels ,而垂直线称为子午线。该代码的作者显然不知道这个术语,所以他们称之为&#34;切片&#34;代替。
