NAME¶
glutWireTorus —
Draw a wireframe torus.
LIBRARY¶
OpenGLUT - geometry
SYNOPSIS¶
#include
<openglut.h>
void
glutWireTorus(GLdouble
dInnerRadius, GLdouble
dOuterRadius, GLint
nSides, GLint
nRings);
PARAMETERS¶
dInnerRadius
Radius of ``tube''
dOuterRadius
Radius of ``path''
nSides
Facets around ``tube''
nRings
Joints along ``path''
DESCRIPTION¶
This function effectively wraps a cylinder with
nSides
slats and bends it at
nRings
facets around a circular path, forming a torus, or ``donut''. The center is at the origin and the ``path'' rings around the z axis.
The torus parameters can be explored interactively with the OpenGLUT shapes demo.
CAVEATS¶
dInnerRadius
and
dOuterRadius
are
not
analogous to similar measurements of an anulus.
