__init__(self, point1, point2, radius, faces=(1, 1, 1), **attr)
(Constructor)

 
Parameters:
  • point1 (Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - first end point of the cylinder axis
  • point2 (Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - second end point of the cylinder axis
  • radius (positive number) - the cylinder radius
  • faces - a sequence of three boolean flags, corresponding to the cylinder hull and the two circular end pieces, specifying for each of these parts whether it is visible or not
  • attr - graphics attributes as keyword parameters
