NAME
     SbCylinder - class for representing a cylinder

INHERITS FROM
     SbCylinder

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Inventor/SbLinear.h>

          Methods from class SbCylinder:

                         SbCylinder()
                         SbCylinder(const SbLine &a, float r)
     void                setValue(const SbLine &a, float r)
     void                setAxis(const SbLine &a)
     void                setRadius(float r)
     const SbLine &      getAxis() const
     float               getRadius() const
     SbBool              intersect(const SbLine &l, SbVec3f &intersection)
                              const
     SbBool              intersect(const SbLine &l, SbVec3f &enter, SbVec3f
                              &exit) const


DESCRIPTION
     This class defines a simple cylinder datatype. It is used by the Inventor
     toolkit for arguments or return values.

METHODS
                         SbCylinder()
                         SbCylinder(const SbLine &a, float r)
          Constructors. One takes an axis and radius.

     void                setValue(const SbLine &a, float r)
          Change the axis and radius.

     void                setAxis(const SbLine &a)
     void                setRadius(float r)
          Set just the axis or radius.

     const SbLine &      getAxis() const
     float               getRadius() const
          Return the axis and radius.

     SbBool              intersect(const SbLine &l, SbVec3f &intersection)
                              const
     SbBool              intersect(const SbLine &l, SbVec3f &enter, SbVec3f
                              &exit) const
          Intersect line and cylinder, returning TRUE if there is an
          intersection.
FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
     Cylinder {
     }
