GLUTWIRECYLINDER(3)

💖 GLUTWIRECYLINDER(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the OpenGLUT manual — section 3, geometry. it's giving "let me draw you a lil cage of a cylinder" and honestly? iconic. 🎀

🌈 NAME 🌈

glutWireCylinder — draws a wireframe cylinder. that's it. that's the whole job. slay. ✨

📚 LIBRARY 📚

OpenGLUT — geometry 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

no cap, here's exactly how you call it:

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutWireCylinder(GLdouble radius, GLdouble height, GLint slices,
    GLint stacks);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• radius — the radius of the cylinder 💫 like how thicc it is around the middle
• height — the Z height. yes, Z. we're being vertical about this 🧚
• slices — how many divisions go around the z axis (think: the number of vertical stripes in your lil wireframe cage) 🍓
• stacks — how many divisions go along the z axis (the horizontal rings, top to bottom) 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea: glutWireCylinder() draws a wireframe of a cylinder. wireframe meaning you get the ✨bones✨ — the edges — not a solid filled-in shape. no cap.

the center of its base sits right at the origin (0, 0, 0, babes, dead center), and the cylinder's axis parallels the z axis. so it stands up straight along z, main character energy, no tilting. 👑

not me reminding you it's a wireframe — if you wanted a solid one, that's a whole different function, keep reading bestie 😭

• glutSolidCylinder(3) — the solid sibling. same vibe, more filling. 🥞

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🫶 this lil beauty lives in the OpenGLUT manual — the footer said UNDATED for the date and UNTITLED() for the title/version situation, which is honestly so mysterious of it 💀 go draw some cylinders, you got this, periodt 💖✨
