Class Cylinder3D

public class Cylinder3D

extends GRShadedShape

This actor contains the geometry and appearance specifications for a GR cylinder. The output port is used to connect this actor to the Java3D scene graph. This actor will only have meaning in the GR domain. Note that most of the parameters are described in the base class documentation.

Since:

VisualSim1.0

circleDivisions

public VisualSim.data.expr.Parameter circleDivisions

The number of divisions in the circles forming the ends of the cylinder. This is an integer with default value "max(6, roundToInt(radius * 100))". This parameter determines the resolution of the cylinder, which is approximated as a surface composed of rectangular facets. Increasing this value makes the surface smoother, but also increases the cost of rendering.

height

public VisualSim.data.expr.Parameter height

The height of the cylinder. This is a double with default 0.7.

sideDivisions

public VisualSim.data.expr.Parameter sideDivisions

The number of divisions on the side of the cone. This is an integer with default value "1". This parameter probably only needs to change when the wireFrame option is set to true.

radius

public VisualSim.data.expr.Parameter radius

The radius of the cylinder. This is a double with default 0.5.
