public static Mesh Cylinder (
    Device device, 
    float radius1, 
    float radius2, 
    float length, 
    int slices, 
    int stacks
)

public static function Cylinder (
    device : Device, 
    radius1 : float, 
    radius2 : float, 
    length : float, 
    slices : int, 
    stacks : int
) : Mesh

Not applicable.

Parameters

device
A Device object that represents the device associated with the created cylinder mesh.

radius1
Radius at the negative Z end. Value should be greater than or equal to 0.0f.

radius2
Radius at the positive Z end. Value should be greater than or equal to 0.0f.

length
Length of the cylinder along the z-axis.

slices
Number of slices around the main axis.

stacks
Number of stacks along the main axis.

Return Value

A Mesh object that represents the cylinder mesh.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
InvalidCallException	The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter may contain an invalid value.
OutOfMemoryException	Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.

Remarks

The created cylinder is centered at the origin, and its axis is aligned with the z-axis.
