glutSolidSphere (3xglut)

NAME

       glutSolidSphere,  glutWireSphere  -  render a solid or wireframe sphere
       respectively.

SYNTAX

       void glutSolidSphere(GLdouble radius,
                            GLint slices, GLint stacks);
       void glutWireSphere(GLdouble radius,
                           GLint slices, GLint stacks);

ARGUMENTS

       radius    The radius of the sphere.

       slices    The number of subdivisions around  the  Z  axis  (similar  to
                 lines of longitude).

       stacks    The number of subdivisions along the Z axis (similar to lines
                 of latitude).

DESCRIPTION

       Renders a sphere centered at the modeling  coordinates  origin  of  the
       specified  radius.  The  sphere  is  subdivided  around the Z axis into
       slices and along the Z axis into stacks.
