Cylinder Node

The Cylinder node lets you specify not only the height and radius but also which parts you want to draw.

 This node contains five fields: radius, height, side, bottom, and top.

 The radius and height fields define the geometrical properties of the cylinder. The values for these fields must be greater than 0.0.

 The side, bottom, and top specify which parts of the cylinder are to be drawn. These three fields take boolean values. For instance if side is FALSE then only the bottom and top of the cylinder are drawn. When drawing only parts of the shape note that only one side is lit, the opposite side being black. 

All fields are optional, the default values being applied if not specified.

 Syntax: 
Cylinder { 
radius 1.0 
height 2.0 
side TRUE 
bottom TRUE 
top TRUE 
The center of the cylinder is at (0,0,0) of the local coordinate system.
