cylinder: create a mesh representation of a cylinder

In zarquon42b/mesheR: Meshing Operations on Triangular Meshes

create a mesh representation of a cylinder

Description

create a mesh representation of a cylinder

Usage

cylinder(
  x,
  dirs,
  length,
  radius = 1,
  fine = 20,
  addNormals = FALSE,
  closelids = TRUE
)

Arguments

x	coordinates of center of the cylinders base - either a 3D-vector of a matrix of dim k x 3
dirs	directions of the cylinder to point - either a 3D-vector of a matrix of dim k x 3
length	length of the cylinder
radius	radius of the cylinder's base
fine	amount of vertices to create the base circle
addNormals	logical: if TRUE, normal vectors for each vertex are calculated.
closelids	logical: if TRUE, the end caps will be closed.

Value

a triangular mesh of class 'mesh3d'

Examples

cyl <- cylinder(1:3,1:3,4,addNormals = TRUE)
## Not run: 
require(rgl)
wire3d(cyl)

## End(Not run)
