PARAMETERS
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.
DESCRIPTIONgluCylinder 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, to 0.5 at the -y axis, to 0.75 at the -x axis, and back to
1.0 at the +y axis.
