p5.js cylinder() Function

The cylinder() function in p5.js is used to draw a cylinder with given radius and height.

Syntax:

cylinder( radius, height, detailX, detailY, bottomCap, topCap )

Parameters: The function accepts six parameters as mentioned above and described below:

radius: This parameter stores the radius of the surface.

height: This parameter stores the height of the surface.

detailX: This parameter stores the number of segments in x-dimension.

detailY: This parameter stores the number of segments in y-dimension.

bottomCap: This parameter stores the boolean value whether to draw bottom base of cylinder.

topCap: This parameter stores the boolean value whether to draw top base of cylinder.

Below programs illustrate the cylinder() function in p5.js:

Example 1: This example uses cylinder() function to draw a cylinder with given radius and height.

function setup() {

    // Create Canvas of size 600*600
    createCanvas(600, 600, WEBGL);
}

function draw() {

    // Set background color
    background(200);

    // Set fill color of cylinder
    fill('green');

    // Call to cylinder function
    cylinder(100, 85, 24, 16, true, false);
}

Output:

Example 2: This example uses cylinder() function to draw a cylinder with given radius and height.

function setup() {

    // Create Canvas of size 600*600
    createCanvas(600, 600, WEBGL);
}

function draw() {

    // Set background color
    background(200);

    // Set fill color of cylinder
    fill('yellow');

    // Rotate
    rotateX(frameCount * 0.01);
    rotate(frameCount*0.03);

    // Call to cylinder function
    cylinder(140, 205, 24, 16, true);
}

Output:
