Digital PHIGS extension function
Creates a structure element

Syntax

DCONE (PX1, PY1, PZ1, PX2, PY2, PZ2, RADIUS)

Argument     Data Type       Access   Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PX1, PY1,    Real            Read     Apex of the cone, in modeling
PZ1                                   coordinates
PX2, PY2,    Real            Read     Center point of the base of the cone,
PZ2                                   in modeling coordinates
RADIUS       Real            Read     Radius of the circle, in modeling
                                      coordinates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

DCONE generates a cone.  You specify the apex of the cone (P1) and the center of the base of the cone (P2).  Digital PHIGS generates the base of the cone perpendicular to the vector from P1 to P2. 

Depending on the current edit mode, this function either inserts the new structure element directly after the element indicated by the pointer or replaces the element indicated by the pointer.  The pointer then points to the new cone element. 

If Digital PHIGS is in immediate mode, it performs this function immediately, but the function does not create a structure element. 

Digital PHIGS Version 3.1 does not support this function.
