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	zero, then this	routine	will generate 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.
