Another flat, finite object available with POV-Ray is the
disc. The disc is infinitely thin, it has no thickness. If you want a
disc with true thickness you should use a very short cylinder. A disc shape
may be defined by:
DISC:
disc {
<Center>, <Normal>, Radius [, Hole_Radius]
[OBJECT_MODIFIERS...]
}
Disc default values:
HOLE RADIUS : 0.0
The vector <Center> defines the x, y, z
coordinates of the center of the disc. The
<Normal> vector describes its orientation by describing its
surface normal vector. This is followed by a float specifying the
Radius. This may be optionally followed by another float
specifying the radius of a hole to be cut from the center of the disc.
Note: The inside of a disc is the inside of the plane that contains the disc. Also note that it is not constrained by the radius of the disc.
