asymptote: solids

 
 8.33 'solids'
 =============
 
 This solid geometry package defines a structure 'revolution' that can be
 used to fill and draw surfaces of revolution.  The following example
 uses it to display the outline of a circular cylinder of radius 1 with
 axis 'O--1.5unit(Y+Z)' with perspective projection:
 import solids;
 
 size(0,100);
 
 revolution r=cylinder(O,1,1.5,Y+Z);
 draw(r,heavygreen);
 
                           [cylinderskeleton]
 
    Further illustrations are provided in the example files
 'cylinder.asy', 'cones.asy', 'hyperboloid.asy', and 'torus.asy'.
 
    The structure 'skeleton' contains the three-dimensional wireframe
 used to visualize a volume of revolution:
 struct skeleton {
   struct curve {
     path3[] front;
     path3[] back;
   }
   // transverse skeleton (perpendicular to axis of revolution)
   curve transverse;
   // longitudinal skeleton (parallel to axis of revolution)
   curve longitudinal;
 }
