The Cone source can be used
to add a polygonal cone to the 3D scene. The radius and height of the
cone, the resolution of the polygonal approximation, and whether or not
the cone is capped can be changed used the property sheet. The cone can
be translated,
rotated, and scaled using the Actor control area of the Display tab for
this source, and it can be interactively positioned using the Move operation
of the camera. The
object created by this source is a vtkConeSource
object, and the output of this source is vtkPolyData.
An example of a cone source is given on the right.
The Cone source has the following parameters:
Resolution:
This value indicates the number of divisions around the cone. The higher
this number, the closer the polygonal approximate will come to representing
a cone, and the more polygons it will contain. The default resolution
is 6.
Radius:This
is the radius of the cone. The default value is 0.5.
Height:
This is the height of the cone. The default value is 1.0.
Capping:
This check box indicates whether the cone is capped (there is an N sided
polygon closing off the cone where N is the resolution) or open. By default
the cone will be capped.
