CYLINDERSURFACEAREA Surface area of a cylinder. S = cylinderSurfaceArea(CYL) Computes the surface area of the cylinder defined by: CYL = [X1 Y1 Z1 X2 Y2 Z2 R], where [X1 Y1 Z1] and [X2 Y2 Z2] are the coordinates of the cylinder extremities, and R is the cylinder radius. The surface area of the cylinder comprises the surface area of the two disk-shape end caps. Example cyl = [0 0 0 1 0 0 1]; cylinderSurfaceArea(cyl) ans = 12.5664 % equals to 4*pi See also geom3d, ellipsoidSurfaceArea, intersectLineCylinder
