[name]( [param:Object parameters] )

[page:Object parameters] - (optional) an object with one or more properties defining the material's appearance. Any property of the material (including any property inherited from [page:Material]) can be passed in here.

The exception is the property [page:Hexadecimal color], which can be passed in as a hexadecimal string and is *0xffffff* (white) by default. [page:Color.set]( color ) is called internally.

Properties

See the base [page:Material] class for common properties.

[property:Color color]

[page:Color] of the material, by default set to white (0xffffff).

[property:Boolean isPointsMaterial]

Used to check whether this or derived classes are points materials. Default is *true*.

You should not change this, as it used internally for optimisation.

[property:Texture map]

Sets the color of the points using data from a [page:Texture].

[property:Boolean morphTargets]

Define whether the material uses morphTargets. Default is false.

[property:Number size]

Sets the size of the points. Default is 1.0.

[property:Boolean sizeAttenuation]

Specify whether points' size is attenuated by the camera depth. (Perspective camera only.) Default is true.
