.SH NAME
SbCylinder \- 
.PP
The \fBSbCylinder\fP class is a representation of a cylinder\&.
.PP
This class is used within other classes in Coin\&. It contains data to represent a cylinder by an axis and a radius\&. The cylinder has no length/height value, which means it is treated as of infinite length\&.

.SH "Constructor & Destructor Documentation"
.PP 
.SS "SbCylinder::SbCylinder (void)"
The default constructor will make a cylinder of radius 1, center axis going through origo in the parallel direction of the positive y-axis\&. 
.SS "SbCylinder::SbCylinder (const \fBSbLine\fP &a, const floatr)"
Construct and initialize an \fBSbCylinder\fP instance with the given axis \fIa\fP and radius \fIr\fP\&.

.SS "void SbCylinder::setValue (const \fBSbLine\fP &a, const floatr)"
Set the axis and radius of the cylinder\&.

.SS "SbBool SbCylinder::intersect (const \fBSbLine\fP &l, \fBSbVec3f\fP &intersection) const"
Finds the intersection point of the ray \fIl\fP on the cylinder where the ray enters, and return this point in \fIintersection\fP\&.
.PP
If the ray does not intersect the cylinder, \fIFALSE\fP is returned, otherwise we will return \fITRUE\fP\&. 
.SS "SbBool SbCylinder::intersect (const \fBSbLine\fP &l, \fBSbVec3f\fP &enter, \fBSbVec3f\fP &exit) const"
Find the intersection points of the ray \fIl\fP on the cylinder and return these in \fIenter\fP and \fIexit\fP\&. If the ray just 'grazes' the cylinder, the \fIenter\fP and \fIexit\fP points have equal values\&.
.PP
If the ray does not intersect the cylinder, \fIFALSE\fP is returned, otherwise we will return \fITRUE\fP\&. 
.SS "void SbCylinder::print (FILE *fp) const"
Dump the state of this object to the \fIfile\fP stream\&. Only works in debug version of library, method does nothing in an optimized compile\&.
