<P CLASS="Normal"> The pyramid object has a rectangular cross section and tapers
to a point. The following statement will display a pyramid with the center
of the rectangular base at (5,2,0), pointing parallel to the x axis with a
base that is 6 high (in y), 4 wide (in z), and with a length 12 from base
to tip:</P>
<DIV>
<H2 CLASS="program0"> pyramid(pos=(5,2,0), size=(12,6,4))</H2>

height=10, width=12</P>
<P CLASS="Normal"> Note that the <span class="attribute">pos</span> attribute
for cylinder, arrow, cone, and pyramid corresponds to one end of the object,
