The cylinder statement creates a finite length cylinder with
parallel end caps The syntax is:
CYLINDER:
cylinder {
<Base_Point>, <Cap_Point>, Radius
[ open ][OBJECT_MODIFIERS...]
}
 |
|
The geometry of a cylinder. |
Where <Base_Point> and
<Cap_Point> are vectors defining the x, y, z coordinates of
the cylinder's base and cap and Radius is a float
value for the radius.
Normally the ends of a cylinder are closed by flat discs that are parallel
to each other and perpendicular to the length of the cylinder. Adding the
optional keyword open after the radius will remove the end caps
and results in a hollow tube.
