Primitive Data

Each primitive, available in the system, can be described in a primitive group. Such a group always starts and ends with keywords, specific for the primitive. In between these keywords, additional keywords describe the geometric data of the primitive.

Immediately after the start keyword, a color keyword may follow with information about the appropriate color for the primitive. The following color codes are used:

More color codes will be added as a part of the ongoing system additions.

The primitives available are:

• cylinder

• cap (spherical segment)

• parallel epiped

• cone

• torus

• rotational cylinder

• general cylinder (extrusion primitive)

• polygon

All the primitives will be described in detail below. The following figures details the primitives and the geometric parameters, describing them:
