The base of the cylinder is placed at z = 0 and the top at z = height . Like a sphere, a cylinder is subdivided around the z axis into slices and along the z axis into stacks. Note that if top is set to 0.0, this routine generates a cone. If the orientation is set to GLU_OUTSIDE (with gluQuadricOrientation), then any generated normals point away from the z axis. Otherwise, they point toward the z axis. If texturing is turned on (with gluQuadricTexture), then texture coordinates are generated so that t ranges linearly from 0.0 at z = 0 to 1.0 at z = height, and s ranges from 0.0 at the +y axis, to 0.25 at the +x axis, to 0.5 at the -y axis, to 0.75 at the \-x axis, and back to 1.0 at the +y axis. gluDisk, gluNewQuadric, gluPartialDisk, gluQuadricTexture, gluSphere Copyright 1991-2006 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
