glutSolidSphere

render a solid or wireframe sphere respectively.

Signature

glutSolidSphere( GLdouble( radius ) , GLint( slices ) , GLint( stacks ) )-> void
glutSolidSphere( radius , slices , stacks ) 
glutSolidSphere( GLdouble(radius), GLint(slices), GLint(stacks) ) -> None
glutWireSphere( GLdouble( radius ) , GLint( slices ) , GLint( stacks ) )-> void
glutWireSphere( radius , slices , stacks ) 
glutWireSphere( GLdouble(radius), GLint(slices), GLint(stacks) ) -> None

Parameters

VariablesDescription
radius
The radius of the sphere.
slices
The number of subdivisions around the Z axis (similar to lines of longitude).
stacks
The number of subdivisions along the Z axis (similar to lines of latitude).

Description

Renders a sphere centered at the modeling coordinates origin of the specified radius. The sphere is subdivided around the Z axis into slices and along the Z axis into stacks.
