GLUTWIRETORUS(3)

💫 NAME 💫

glutWireTorus — bestie, this draws a wireframe torus 🍩✨

📚 LIBRARY 📚

OpenGLUT - geometry 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutWireTorus(GLdouble dInnerRadius, GLdouble dOuterRadius,
    GLint nSides, GLint nRings);

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• dInnerRadius — the radius of the ``tube'' 🧵 like, how chonky the donut rope itself is
• dOuterRadius — the radius of the ``path'' 🌀 aka how big the circle is that the tube sweeps around
• nSides — how many facets go around the ``tube'' 🔥
• nRings — how many joints run along the ``path'' 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk, what this function does is literally this: it takes a cylinder with nSides slats and bends it at nRings facets all the way around a circular path, and boom 💥 you get a torus. a ``donut''. iconic behavior, no cap 🍩👑

the center is at the origin, and the ``path'' rings around the z axis 🌐

also!! you can poke at the torus parameters interactively with the OpenGLUT shapes demo 🎮 that's the move if you wanna see it in action, fr fr

💀 CAVEATS 💀

not me warning you about this — dInnerRadius and dOuterRadius are NOT analogous to similar measurements of an anulus 😭 like do not come for me when your math doesn't math. they are simply not the same thing, bestie. periodt.
