BUILT-IN SYMBOL

Cylinder[{{x₁,y₁,z₁},{x₂,y₂,z₂}},r]

represents a cylinder of radius r around the line from (x₁,y₁,z₁) to (x₂,y₂,z₂).

Cylinder[{{x₁,y₁,z₁},{x₂,y₂,z₂}}]

represents a cylinder of radius 1.

Details and Options

Cylinder can be used as a geometric region and a graphics primitive.
Cylinder[] is equivalent to Cylinder[{{0,0,-1},{0,0,1}}]. »
Cylinder represents a filled cylinder region where and the vectors are orthogonal with , and and .
Cylinder can be used in Graphics3D.
In graphics, the points p_i and radii r can be Scaled and Dynamic expressions.
Graphics rendering is affected by directives such as EdgeForm, FaceForm, Specularity, Opacity, and color.
Cylinder[{spec₁,spec₂,…},{r₁,r₂,…}] represents a collection of cylinders with specifications spec_i and radii r_i.
