Name

gleHelicoid — Generalized torus, spiral with circle contour.

C Specification

void gleHelicoid ( gleDouble rToroid , gleDouble up[3], gleDouble startRadius , gleDouble drdTheta , gleDouble startZ , gleDouble dzdTheta , gleDouble startXform[2][3], gleDouble dXformdTheta[2][3], gleDouble startTheta , gleDouble sweepTheta );

Python Specification

gleHelicoid ( rToroid , up[3], startRadius , drdTheta , startZ , dzdTheta , startXform[2][3], dXformdTheta[2][3], startTheta , sweepTheta ) → None

Parameters

rToroid: circle contour (torus) radius
startRadius: spiral starts in x-y plane
drdTheta: change in radius per revolution
startZ: starting z value
dzdTheta: change in Z per revolution
startXform: starting contour affine transformation
dXformdTheta: tangent change xform per revolution
startTheta: start angle in x-y plane
sweepTheta: degrees to spiral around

Description

Generalized Torus. Similar to gleSpiral, except contour is a circle. Uses gleSpiral to draw.
