Parameters
| Variables | Description |
|---|---|
| quad |
Specifies the quadrics object (created with
gluNewQuadric
).
|
| base |
Specifies the radius of the cylinder at
z
= 0.
|
| top |
Specifies the radius of the cylinder at
z
=
height
.
|
| height |
Specifies the height of the cylinder.
|
| slices |
Specifies the number of subdivisions around the
z
axis.
|
| stacks |
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
.
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.
