The General Cylinder Data Form

The last form is used for defining various data for the general cylinder. The form has the following contents:

Figure 2:39. Form for general cylinder data.

The Min Coord field: Lower coordinate along the generator limiting the general cylinder. The initial value is derived from the default box limits.

The Max Coord field: Upper coordinate along the generator limiting the general cylinder. The initial value is derived from the default box limits.

The 1st Angle field: Angle (in degrees) of the directrix at the first end point. The angle must be in the interval [-360, 360] and must not have the values -270, -90, 90 or 270. This field is optional; if no value is given the angle is calculated automatically.

The 2nd Angle field: Angle (in degrees) of the directrix at the last end point. The angle must be in the interval [-360, 360] and must not have the values -270, -90, 90 or 270. This field is optional; if no value is given the angle is calculated automatically.

The Ok button: Confirm the input and create a general cylinder.

The Cancel button: Exit the function.
