Visual Basic	Public Shared Function Cylinder( _ ByVal device As Device, _ ByVal radius1 As Single, _ ByVal radius2 As Single, _ ByVal length As Single, _ ByVal slices As Integer, _ ByVal stacks As Integer _ ) As Mesh
C#	public static Mesh Cylinder( Device device, float radius1, float radius2, float length, int slices, int stacks );
C++	public: static Mesh^ Cylinder( Device^ device, float radius1, float radius2, float length, int slices, int stacks );
JScript	public static function Cylinder( device : Device, radius1 : float, radius2 : float, length : float, slices : int, stacks : int ) : Mesh;

Parameters

device Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device
A Device object that represents the device associated with the created cylinder mesh.

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

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

length System.Single
Length of the cylinder along the z-axis.

slices System.Int32
Number of slices around the main axis.

stacks System.Int32
Number of stacks along the main axis.

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Mesh
A Mesh object that represents the cylinder mesh.

Remarks

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