cylinder

FV = cylinder(r, h; base=0.0, center=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), geog=false, unit="m", np=36)::GMTfv

Create a cylinder with radius r and height h.

Args

• r: The radius of the cylinder. For geographical cylinders, the default is meters. But see unit below.

• h: The height of the cylinder. It should be in the same unit as r.

Kwargs

• base: The base height of the cylinder. Default is 0.

• center: A 3-element array or tuple of three numbers defining the origin of the body. Default is (0.0, 0.0, 0.0).

• closed: If true (the default), close the cylinder at top and bottom.

• geog: If true, create a cylinder in geographical coordinates.

• unit: For geographical cylinders only.If radius is not in meters use one of unit=:km, or unit=:Nautical or unit=:Miles

• np: The number of vertices in the circle. Default is 36.

Returns

A GMTfv FacesVertices object.

Example

Create a cylinder of radius 50 and height 100.

using GMT

FV = cylinder(50, 100)
