NAME
     gluPartialDisk - draw an arc of a disk


C SPECIFICATION
     void gluPartialDisk( GLUquadric* quad,
			  GLdouble inner,
			  GLdouble outer,
			  GLint	slices,
			  GLint	loops,
			  GLdouble start,
			  GLdouble sweep )


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

     inner   Specifies the inner radius	of the partial disk (can be zero).

     outer   Specifies the outer radius	of the partial disk.

     slices  Specfies the number of subdivisions around	the z axis.

     loops   Specifies the number of concentric	rings about the	origin into
	     which the partial disk is subdivided.

     start   Specifies the starting angle, in degrees, of the disk portion.

     sweep   Specifies the sweep angle,	in degrees, of the disk	portion.


DESCRIPTION
     gluPartialDisk renders a partial disk on the z=0 plane.  A	partial	disk
     is	similar	to a full disk,	except that only the subset of the disk	from
     start through start + sweep is included (where 0 degrees is along the +y
     axis, 90 degrees along the	+x axis, 180 along the -y axis,	and 270	along
     the -x axis).

     The partial disk has a radius of outer, and contains a concentric
     circular hole with	a radius of inner.  If inner is	zero, then no hole is
     generated.	 The partial disk is subdivided	around the z axis into slices
     (like pizza slices), and also about the z axis into rings (as specified
     by	slices and loops, respectively).

     With respect to orientation, the +z side of the partial disk is
     considered	to be outside (see gluQuadricOrientation). This	means that if
     the orientation is	set to GLU_OUTSIDE, then any normals generated point
     along the +z axis.	 Otherwise, they point along the -z axis.

     If	texturing is turned on (with gluQuadricTexture), texture coordinates
     are generated linearly such that where r=outer, the value at (r, 0, 0) is
     (1, 0.5), at (0, r, 0) it is (0.5,	1), at (-r, 0, 0) it is	(0, 0.5), and

     at	(0, -r,	0) it is (0.5, 0).
