glutSolidTorus - Man Page
Draw a solid torus.
Library
OpenGLUT - geometry
Synopsis
#include <openglut.h
>
void
glutSolidTorus
(GLdouble dInnerRadius, GLdouble dOuterRadius, GLint nSides, GLint nRings);
Parameters
dInnerRadius
Radius of ``tube''
dOuterRadius
Radius of ``path''
nSides
Facets around ``tube''
nRings
Joints along ``path''
Description
This function effectively wraps a cylinder with
nSides
slats and bends it at
nRings
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
dInnerRadius
and
dOuterRadius
are
not
analogous to similar measurements of an anulus.
