DESCRIPTION

Cylinders reads a file containing cylinder center point coordinates
(x,y,z), cylinder radius, and cylinder height, one per line of the
input file. Cylinders builds a polyhedron object for each cylinder
(surface normals are computed for shading).


APPLICATION

This module is very useful for generating cylinder shapes for model
geometries to add model data into.
