DESCRIPTION

26       Draw polycylinder, specified as a polyline.
27
28       Note that neither the very first segment, nor the very last segment are
29       drawn. The first and last segments serve only to define  the  angle  of
30       the  join  at the very ends of the polyline. Thus, to draw one segment,
31       three must be specified. To draw two segments, four must be  specified,
32       etc.
33
34       The color array may be NULL. If NULL, the current color is used. If not
35       NULL, the glColor3f() routine is used  to  set  the  color;  therefore,
36       specifying  the  glColorMaterial() subroutine before this primitive can
37       be used to set diffuse, specular, ambient, etc. colors.
38
39       By default, the cross-section of the cylinder is drawn  as  a  20-sided
40       polygon.   This  number  can be changed using the gleSetNumSides() rou‐
41       tine.
