Detailed Description
The SoVRMLCylinder class is used to represent a cylinder object.

standard (ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997). It is copyright The Web3D Consortium,

The Cylinder node specifies a capped cylinder centred at (0,0,0) in the local coordinate system and with a central axis oriented along the local Y-axis. By default, the cylinder is sized at ’-1’ to ’+1’ in all three dimensions. The radius field specifies the radius of the cylinder and the height field specifies the height of the cylinder along the central axis. Both radius and height shall be greater than zero. Figure 6.4 illustrates the Cylinder node.
The cylinder has three parts: the side, the top (Y = +height/2) and the bottom (Y = -height/2). Each part has an associated SFBool field that indicates whether the part exists (TRUE) or does not exist (FALSE). Parts which do not exist are not rendered and not eligible for intersection tests (e.g., collision detection or sensor activation).
Figure 6.4
When a texture is applied to a cylinder, it is applied differently to the sides, top, and bottom. On the sides, the texture wraps counterclockwise (from above) starting at the back of the cylinder. The texture has a vertical seam at the back, intersecting the X=0 plane. For the top and bottom caps, a circle is cut out of the unit texture squares centred at (0, +/- height/2, 0) with dimensions 2 × radius by 2 × radius. The top texture appears right side up when the top of the cylinder is tilted toward the +Z-axis, and the bottom texture appears right side up when the top of the cylinder is tilted toward the -Z-axis. SoVRMLTextureTransform affects the texture coordinates of the Cylinder node. The Cylinder node’s geometry requires outside faces only. When viewed from the inside the results are undefined.

Member Function Documentation
void SoVRMLCylinder::initClass (void) [static] Sets up initialization for
data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary
information to the Coin type system.
Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.
void SoVRMLCylinder::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual] Action
method for the SoGLRenderAction.
This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the
rendering state in any way or who wants to throw geometry primitives at
OpenGL overrides this method.
Reimplemented from SoShape.
void SoVRMLCylinder::rayPick (SoRayPickAction * action) [virtual]
Calculates picked point based on primitives generated by subclasses.
Reimplemented from SoShape.
void SoVRMLCylinder::getPrimitiveCount (SoGetPrimitiveCountAction * action)
[virtual] Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.
Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives
for the node and adds these to the counters of the action.
Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculates their primitive count
also overrides this method to change the relevant state variables.
Reimplemented from SoShape.
void SoVRMLCylinder::generatePrimitives (SoAction * action) [protected,
virtual] The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for
SoCallbackAction. It is invoked from SoShape::callback(). (Subclasses
should not override SoNode::callback().)
The subclass implementations uses the convenience methods
SoShape::beginShape(), SoShape::shapeVertex(), and SoShape::endShape(),
with SoDetail instances, to pass the primitives making up the shape
back to the caller.
Implements SoShape.
void SoVRMLCylinder::computeBBox (SoAction * action, SbBox3f & box, SbVec3f
& center) [protected, virtual] Implemented by SoShape subclasses to let
the SoShape superclass know the exact size and weighted center point of
the shape’s bounding box.
The bounding box and center point should be calculated and returned in
the local coordinate system.
The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for
SoGetBoundingBoxAction. It is invoked from SoShape::getBoundingBox().
(Subclasses should not override SoNode::getBoundingBox().)
The box parameter sent in is guaranteed to be an empty box, while
center is undefined upon function entry.
Implements SoShape.
