List of: Scheme Extensions
Subjects: Model Geometry
Contents: Kernel

Action: Determines if a Scheme object is a cylindrical face.

Filename: kern/kern_scm/qfac_scm.cxx

Syntax: (face:cylindrical? object)

Arg Types: object scheme-object

Returns: boolean

Description: The returned boolean specifies whether the supplied entity input is a cylindrical face. Note that the input argument is cylinder face and not a solid:cylinder.


object specifies the scheme-object that has to be queried for a cylindrical-face.

Example: ; face:cylindrical?

; Create a solid cylinder.

(define cyl1


(solid:cylinder (position 0 0 0)


(position 8 8 8) 32))

;; cyl1

; Find the faces of the cylinder.

(define faces1 (entity:faces cyl1))

;; faces1

; Determine whether cyl1 is a cylindrical face.

(face:cylindrical? cyl1)

;; #f

; Determine whether face 2 is a cylindrical face.

(face:cylindrical? (car faces1))

;; #t

; Determine whether face 3 is a cylindrical face.

(face:cylindrical? (car (cdr faces1)))

;; #f
