RwCylinder(RwReal height, RwReal
baserad, RwReal toprad,
RwInt32 nsides);
Description
Adds a cylinder to the current clump under construction. The cylinder is transformed by the CTM, and the current material is assigned to its polygons. The base of the cylinder lies on the X-Z plane, extending up the Y axis.
Arguments
height Cylinder height.
baserad Radius of the cylinder base.
toprad Radius of the cylinder top.
nsides Number of sides.
Return Value
TRUE if successful, and FALSE otherwise.
Comments
It is an error if the cylinder’s radius is degenerate, i.e., CREAL(0.0).
Note that if both baserad and toprad are negative the polygons forming the cylinder will face inward. It is an error if one of the radii is negative and the other is positive.
This function can only be called within the context of an RwClumpBegin() … RwClumpEnd() or RwProtoBegin() … RwProtoEnd() block.
