The cone object
has a circular cross section and tapers to a point. The following statement
will display a cone with the center of its circular base at (5,2,0), pointing
parallel to the x axis with length 12; the wide end of the cone has radius
1:
cone(pos=(5,2,0), axis=(12,0,0), radius=1)
The cone object has the following attributes and default
values, like those for cylinders: pos
(0,0,0), x
(0), y(0),
z(0), axis
(1,0,0), length
(1), color (1,1,1)
which is color.white, red
(1), green (1),
blue (1), and
up (0,1,0).
As with cylinders, up has a subtle effect
on the 3D appearance of a cone. Additional cone attribute:
radius Radius of the
wide end of the cone, default = 1
Note that the pos attribute
for cylinder, arrow, cone, and pyramid corresponds to one end of the object,
whereas for a box, sphere, or ring it corresponds to the center of the object.
