Revolve generates a surface of revolution around the X axis, for a function provided in the form of an array of 2D points.
in
is an array of 2D points defining the function to revolve.
Resolution
defines the quality of the Surface of the resulting object. The range for this is between 3 and 120. This parameter defines the number of points used on each circle perpendicular to the X axis to define the revolution surface.
Smooth
If toggled on, the surface is smoothed.
out
The output surface as a mesh.
obj
The output surface as a directly renderable object.
The User Macro revolve makes use of the Functional Macro RevolveFunc and the UI Macro RevolveUI.
An example application RevolveEg is provided. It uses an array of ten integer values which defines five 2D points of a function, to generate the revolution surface.
