Function Reference: nrbcylind

 
 NRBCYLIND: Construct a cylinder or cylindrical patch.
 
 Calling Sequence:
 
   srf = nrbcylind()
   srf = nrbcylind(height)
   srf = nrbcylind(height,radius)
   srf = nrbcylind(height,radius,center)
   srf = nrbcylind(height,radius,center,sang,eang)
 
 INPUT:
 
   height	: Height of the cylinder along the axis, default 1.0
 
   radius	: Radius of the cylinder, default 1.0
 
   center	: Center of the cylinder, default (0,0,0)
 
   sang	: Start angle relative to the origin, default 0.
 
   eang	: End angle relative to the origin, default 2*pi.

 OUTPUT: 

   srf     : cylindrical surface patch 
 
 Description:
 
   Construct a cylinder or cylindrical patch by extruding a circular arc.
