NAME

glutSolidTorus - Draw a solid torus.

LIBRARY

OpenGLUT - geometry

SYNOPSIS

In openglut.h Ft void Fn glutSolidTorus GLdouble dInnerRadius GLdouble dOuterRadius GLint nSides GLint nRings

PARAMETERS

Bf Em
dInnerRadius Ef
Radius of ``tube''

Bf Em
dOuterRadius Ef
Radius of ``path''

Bf Em
nSides Ef
Facets around ``tube''

Bf Em
nRings Ef
Joints along ``path''

DESCRIPTION

This function effectively wraps a cylinder with Bf Sy
nSides Ef
slats and bends it at Bf Sy
nRings Ef
facets around a circular path, forming a torus, or ``donut''. The center is at the origin and the ``path'' rings around the z axis.

The torus parameters can be explored interactively with the OpenGLUT shapes demo.

CAVEATS

Bf Sy
dInnerRadius Ef
and Bf Sy
dOuterRadius Ef
are Bf Em
not Ef
analogous to similar measurements of an anulus.
