C gluCylinder gluCylinder gluCylinder: draw a cylinder. C Specification void gluCylinder( GLUquadric* quad, GLdouble base, GLdouble top, GLdouble height, GLint slices, GLint stacks) Parameters quad base top height slices stacks Specifies the quadrics object (created with gluNewQuadric). Specifies the radius of the cylinder at z = 0. Specifies the radius of the cylinder at z = height. Specifies the height of the cylinder. Specifies the number of subdivisions around the Z axis. Specifies the number of subdivisions along the Z axis. Description gluCylinder draws a cylinder oriented along the Z axis. 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, to0.5 at the - Y axis, to 0.75 at the - X axis, and back to 1.0 at the +Y axis.
