It uses the value specified by the user in the depth dial for the depth of the object. The file format this module expects is as follows: num_vertices (integer) x y (floating point values) x y . . x y <eof> </pre> </blockquote> <h3>Inputs</h3> <blockquote> <pre> No input is required </pre> </blockquote> <h3>Parameters</h3> <blockquote> <pre> Filename A file browser is supplied allowing the user to specify a filename for extrude to read. Depth It is a dial which is to be used to change the depth or thickness of the 3-D object. </pre> </blockquote> <h3>Outputs</h3> <blockquote> <pre> A GEOMedit_list which contains a 3-d geometry object, of user supplied depth, generated by connecting the vertices specified by the user. </pre> </blockquote> <h3>Example</h3> <blockquote> <pre> Extrusion | RENDER GEOMETRY | DISPLAY PIXMAP </pre> </blockquote> <h3>Limitations</h3> <blockquote> <pre> If the number of vertices exceed a certain limit then one would see streaks emitting from vertices and in order to get rid of this problem, you will have to turn on the software renderer(geometry viewer-cameras -software renderer). This problem is apparently due to a bug in GEOM_CONCAVE.
