Data Structures

class  gp_Cylinder
 Describes an infinite cylindrical surface.
A cylinder is defined by its radius and positioned in space
with a coordinate system (a gp_Ax3 object), the "main <br> Axis" of which is the axis of the cylinder. This coordinate
system is the "local coordinate system" of the cylinder.
Note: when a gp_Cylinder cylinder is converted into a
Geom_CylindricalSurface cylinder, some implicit
properties of its local coordinate system are used explicitly:

  • its origin, "X Direction", "Y Direction" and "main <br> Direction" are used directly to define the parametric
    directions on the cylinder and the origin of the parameters,
  • its implicit orientation (right-handed or left-handed)
    gives an orientation (direct or indirect) to the
    Geom_CylindricalSurface cylinder.
