vtkCone - implicit function for a cone

Super Class: vtkImplicitFunction

Description:

vtkCone computes the implicit function and function gradient for a cone. vtkCone is a concrete implementation of vtkImplicitFunction. The cone vertex is located at the origin with axis of rotation coincident with z-axis. (Use the superclass' vtkImplicitFunction transformation matrix if necessary to reposition.) The angle specifies the angle between the axis of rotation and the side of the cone.

 

Caveats:

The cone is infinite in extent. To truncate the cone use the vtkImplicitBoolean in combination with clipping planes.
