vtkConeSource - generate polygonal cone

Description:

vtkConeSource creates a cone centered at origin and pointing down the x-axis. Depending upon the resolution of this object, different representations are created. If resolution=0 a line is created; if resolution=1, a single triangle is created; if resolution=2, two crossed triangles are created. For resolution > 2, a 3D cone (with resolution number of sides) is created. It also is possible to control whether the bottom of the cone is capped with a (resolution-sided) polygon, and to specify the height and radius of the cone.

Methods:

	void vtkConeSource (int )
	const char *GetClassName ()
	void PrintSelf (unknown & ,vtkIndent )
	static vtkConeSource *New ()
	void SetHeight (float )
	float GetHeight ()
	void SetRadius (float )
	float GetRadius ()
	void SetResolution (int )
	int GetResolution ()
	void SetAngle (float )
	float GetAngle ()
	void SetCapping (int )
	int GetCapping ()
	void CappingOn ()
	void CappingOff ()
	void Execute ()

Detailed Method Descriptions:

Construct with default resolution 6, height 1.0, radius 0.5, and capping on.

static vtkConeSource *New ()

Set the height of the cone.

	void SetHeight (float )
	float GetHeight ()

Set the radius of the cone.

	void SetRadius (float )
	float GetRadius ()

Set the number of facets used to represent the cone.

	void SetResolution (int )
	int GetResolution ()

Set the angle of the cone. As a side effect, this method sets radius.

	void SetAngle (float )
	float GetAngle ()

Turn on/off whether to cap the cone with a polygon.

	void SetCapping (int )
	int GetCapping ()
	void CappingOn ()
	void CappingOff ()
