To make a cylindrical plot of an expression
The following example shows a plot of the cylinder r = 1 obtained as the 3D cylindrical plot of the expression 1, with 0≤θ≤2π, and ≤z≤1.

You can plot more than one expression at once by separating the expressions with a (red) comma. The following example shows a plot of the cylinders r = 1 and r = 1 - z obtained as the 3D cylindrical plot of the expressions 1 and - z, with 0≤θ≤2π, and 0≤z≤1. To get this plot, either plot both expressions together (as indicated), or drag one of the expressions onto a plot of the other.
