Assembly: DigitalRune.Graphics (in DigitalRune.Graphics.dll) Version: 1.2.0.0 (1.2.1.14562)

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static Submesh CreateUncappedCylinder(
	GraphicsDevice graphicsDevice,
	int numberOfSegments
)

Public Shared Function CreateUncappedCylinder ( 
	graphicsDevice As GraphicsDevice,
	numberOfSegments As Integer
) As Submesh

public:
static Submesh^ CreateUncappedCylinder(
	GraphicsDevice^ graphicsDevice, 
	int numberOfSegments
)

static member CreateUncappedCylinder : 
        graphicsDevice : GraphicsDevice * 
        numberOfSegments : int -> Submesh

Parameters

graphicsDevice: Type: GraphicsDevice
The graphics device.
numberOfSegments: Type: SystemInt32
The number of segments. This parameter controls the detail of the mesh.

Return Value

Type: Submesh
A new Submesh that represents an uncapped cylinder (a cylinder without flat circle caps).

Remarks

If the returned Submesh is not going to be modified, then it is better to call GetUncappedCylinder(IGraphicsService) to retrieve a shared Submesh instance.
