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 0.0, this routine generates 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.
