NAME
       gluCylinder - draw a cylinder

C SPECIFICATION
       void gluCylinder(GLUquadric* quad, GLdouble base, GLdouble top,
			GLdouble height, GLint slices, GLint stacks);

PARAMETERS
       quad
	   Specifies the quadrics object (created with gluNewQuadric()).

       base
	   Specifies the radius of the cylinder at z = 0.

       top
	   Specifies the radius of the cylinder at z = height.

       height
	   Specifies the height of the cylinder.

       slices
	   Specifies the number of subdivisions around the z axis.

       stacks
	   Specifies the number of subdivisions along the z axis.

DESCRIPTION
       gluCylinder draws a cylinder oriented along the z axis. The base of the
       cylinder is placed at z = 0 and the top at z = height. Like a sphere, a
       cylinder is subdivided around the z axis into slices and along the z
       axis into stacks.

       Note that if top is set to 0.0, this routine generates a cone.

       If the orientation is set to GLU_OUTSIDE (with
       gluQuadricOrientation()), then any generated normals point away from
       the z axis. Otherwise, they point toward the z axis.

       If texturing is turned on (with gluQuadricTexture()), then texture
       coordinates are generated so that t ranges linearly from 0.0 at z = 0
       to 1.0 at z = height, and s ranges from 0.0 at the +y axis, to 0.25 at
       the +x axis, to 0.5 at the -y axis, to 0.75 at the \-x axis, and back
       to 1.0 at the +y axis.
