Model ElementThe Cylinder element allows you to represent a geometric figure with straight parallel
sides and a circular cross section.

Usage
Cylinder (cm=Marker(), radius=120, length=200)
Attributes
- end_caps
- Enum ()
- This property allows you to control the appearance of the cylinder. Four
options are available:
- OPEN
- CLOSED
- TOP_ONLY
- BOTTOM_ONLY
- cm
- Reference (Marker)
- The marker is used as a coordinate system for the cylinder graphic. It
represents the center of the circular section at the base of the
cylinder.
- radius
- Double()
- The radius of the cylinder graphic.
- length
- Double()
- The length of the cylinder graphic.
- seg
- Int ()
- Specifies the number of segments used to represents the Cylinder.
- material_inside
- Bool ()
- Specifies if the graphic has material inside or outside.
material_inside is a Boolean flag
(True/False).
- True means the geometry is solid. In other words, it is
filled with material and its exterior is devoid of material. Consequently,
the surface normals of the geometry point outward.
- False means the converse: The exterior of the geometry is
filled with material and the interior is devoid of material. In this case,
the surface normals of the geometry point inward.
- color
- String()
- The color of the graphic for H3D animation. Specified as RGB (Red : Green :
Blue).
- hidden
- Boolean
- Specifies weather the graphics is being written to the H3D file or not.
- True implies that the graphic is hidden and is not
written to the H3D file.
- False implies that the graphic is not hidden and is
written to the H3D file.
- This attribute is optional. When not specified, it defaults to
False.
