			<tt>gluCylinder</tt> draws a cylinder oriented along the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
				</mml:math> axis. The base of the cylinder is placed at <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
					<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
					<mml:mn>0</mml:mn>
				</mml:math>, and the top at <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
					<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
					<mml:mi>height</mml:mi>
				</mml:math>. Like a sphere, a cylinder is subdivided around the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
				</mml:math> axis into slices, and along the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
				</mml:math> axis into stacks.
		</p><p>
			Note that if <i><tt>top</tt></i> is set to 0.0, this routine generates a cone.
		</p><p>
			If the orientation is set to <tt>GLU_OUTSIDE</tt> (with <a href="gluQuadricOrientation.3G.xml"><tt>gluQuadricOrientation</tt></a>), then any generated normals point away from the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
				</mml:math> axis. Otherwise, they point toward the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
				</mml:math> axis.
		</p><p>
			If texturing is turned on (with <a href="gluQuadricTexture.3G.xml"><tt>gluQuadricTexture</tt></a>), then texture coordinates
			are generated so that <i><tt>t</tt></i> ranges linearly from 0.0 at <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
					<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
					<mml:mn>0</mml:mn>
				</mml:math> to 1.0 at <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mi>z</mml:mi>
					<mml:mo>=</mml:mo>
					<mml:mi>height</mml:mi>
				</mml:math>, and <i><tt>s</tt></i> ranges from 0.0 at the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mo>+</mml:mo>
					<mml:mi>y</mml:mi>
				</mml:math> axis, to 0.25 at the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mo>+</mml:mo>
					<mml:mi>x</mml:mi>
				</mml:math> axis, to 0.5 at the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mo>-</mml:mo>
					<mml:mi>y</mml:mi>
				</mml:math> axis, to 0.75 at the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
					<mml:mo>-</mml:mo>
