Constructs a new lathe geometry.

@param {Array<Vector2|Vector3>} [points] - An array of points in 2D space. The x-coordinate of each point
must be greater than zero.
@param {number} [segments=12] - The number of circumference segments to generate.
@param {number} [phiStart=0] - The starting angle in radians.
@param {number} [phiLength=Math.PI*2] - The radian (0 to 2PI) range of the lathed section 2PI is a
closed lathe, less than 2PI is a portion.
