SbCylinder(3IV)

NAME
     SbCylinder (SbCyl) - class for representing a cylinder

INHERITS FROM
     SbCylinder

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Inventor_c/SbLinear.h>

     typedef SbCylinder  SbCyl

          Functions from class SbCylinder:

     SbBool              SbCylIntersect(const SbCyl *this, const SbLine *l,
                              SbVec3f *intersection)
     SbBool              SbCylIntersect2(const SbCyl *this, const SbLine *l,
                              SbVec3f *enter, SbVec3f *exit)


DESCRIPTION
     This class defines a simple cylinder datatype. It is used by the Inventor
     toolkit for arguments or return values.  Note that there are no Create
     and Delete functions for SbCylinder. C programmers should treat cylinders
     as standard C structs (declare them locally or use malloc):

               /* This is defined in Inventor_c/SbLinear.h: */
               struct {
                   struct SbLine  axis;
                   float          radius;
               }
               typedef SbCylinder      SbCyl;


               /* Your code should look something like this: */
               #include <Inventor_c/SbLinear.h>

               SbCylinder   c;

               c.radius = 2.0;
               SbV3fSetX_Y_Z( c.axis.pos, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 );
               SbV3fSetX_Y_Z( c.axis.dir, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0 );



FUNCTIONS
     SbBool              SbCylIntersect(const SbCyl *this, const SbLine *l,
                              SbVec3f *intersection)
     SbBool              SbCylIntersect2(const SbCyl *this, const SbLine *l,
                              SbVec3f *enter, SbVec3f *exit)
          Intersect line and cylinder, returning TRUE if there is an
          intersection.
FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
     Cylinder {
     }
