NAME

       glutSolidSphere, glutWireSphere - render a solid or wireframe sphere respectively.

SYNTAX

       #include <GLUT/glut.h>

       void glutSolidSphere(GLdouble radius,
			    GLint slices, GLint stacks);
       void glutWireSphere(GLdouble radius,
			   GLint slices, GLint stacks);

ARGUMENTS

       radius	 The radius of the sphere.

       slices	 The number of subdivisions around the Z axis (similar to lines of longitude).

       stacks	 The number of subdivisions along the Z axis (similar to lines of latitude).

DESCRIPTION

       Renders	a  sphere  centered  at  the  modeling coordinates origin of the specified radius. The sphere is subdivided around the Z axis into
       slices and along the Z axis into stacks.

NAME

       gluSphere - draw a sphere

C SPECIFICATION

       void gluSphere( GLUquadric* quad,
		       GLdouble radius,
		       GLint slices,
		       GLint stacks )

PARAMETERS

       quad    Specifies the quadrics object (created with gluNewQuadric).

       radius  Specifies the radius of the sphere.

       slices  Specifies the number of subdivisions around the z axis (similar to lines of longitude).

       stacks  Specifies the number of subdivisions along the z axis (similar to lines of latitude).

DESCRIPTION

       gluSphere  draws  a sphere of the given radius centered around the origin. The sphere is subdivided around the z axis into slices and along
       the z axis into stacks (similar to lines of longitude and latitude).

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

       If  texturing  is turned on (with gluQuadricTexture), then texture coordinates are generated so that t ranges from 0.0 at z =-radius to 1.0
       at z = radius (t increases linearly along longitudinal lines), 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.
