Detailed Description

Defines a cylinder, whose ends can be rendered as cones.

The cylinder is defined by 2 coordinates (top and bottom), a radius, and the lengths of cones that can be drawn at its top or bottom. The height of each cone can be no more than half the cylinder's length (if it is longer, the cone will be drawn as having half the length of the cylinder).

Examples for cylinders with different parameters:

• bottom=(-3,0,0), top=(4,0,0), radius=2, bottomCone=topCone=0
  
• bottom=(-3,0,0), top=(4,0,0), radius=2, bottomCone=3, topCone=0
  
• bottom=(-3,0,0), top=(4,0,0), radius=2, bottomCone=3, topCone=1
  
• bottom=(-3,0,0), top=(4,0,0), radius=2, bottomCone>=3.5, topCone>=3.5;
