DESCRIPTION

16       Query  and  set  the  GLE cylinder and cone roundness. When GLE draws a
17       cylinder or a cone, it approximates the circular cross-section  with  a
18       polygon  (of  20  sides  by default).  These subroutines can be used to
19       change the default number of sides in this  cross-section.   A  smaller
20       number of sides can typically be drawn much faster, at the loss of some
21       visual accuracy.  Increasing the number of sides to more than  20  will
22       typically have no noticable visual effect.

BUGS

26       Multiple  threads  using  GLE  share  a  single  global number of sides
27       (although this should be easily fixable because GLE does use a central‐
28       ized graphics context).
