Detailed Description

template<class T, class S>
class cylinder< T, S >

A class to keep track of cylinders which are displayed using OpenGL.

This file defines a cylinder class designed to use as few bytes as possible. It is defined as a template class to allow customizing the type for x, y and z coordinates and the type for sizes. One instantiation uses short ints for coordinates and bytes for sizes. This version keeps track of the x, y, z, color and size of a cylinder in 16 bytes. Another version uses floats for coordinates and sizes. This version has 37 bytes of data which would make its size 40 on most systems.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T, class S> cylinder< T, S >::cylinder< T, S > (  double  x1, double  y1, double  z1, double  size1, double  x2, double  y2, double  z2, double  size2, double  size, int  color )

Constructor with locations, sizes and color. A cylinder extends from a sphere of radius size1 at (x1,y1,z1) to a sphere of radius size2 at (x2,y2,z2) and has radius size. Parameters: x1  X coordinate for first sphere y1  Y coordinate for first sphere z1  Z coordinate for first sphere size1  Radius of sphere at (x1,y1,z1) x2  X coordinate for second sphere y2  Y coordinate for second sphere z2  Z coordinate for second sphere size2  Radius of sphere at (x2,y2,z2) size  Radius of the cylinder color  Color index for the cylinder

template<class T, class S> cylinder< T, S >::cylinder< T, S > (   )

Default constructor. This is needed since arrays of cylinders are allocated.
