The range for this is between 3 and 120. This parameter defines the number of points used on each circle perpendicular to the X axis to define the revolution surface. </p> <p> <i><b>Smooth</b></i> </p> <p> If toggled on, the surface is smoothed. </p> <h4>Outputs</h4> <p> <i><b>out</b></i> </p> <p> The output surface as a mesh. </p> <p> <i><b>obj</b></i> </p> <p> The output surface as a directly renderable object. </p> <h3>Utility Modules</h3> <p> The User Macro revolve makes use of the Functional Macro RevolveFunc and the UI Macro RevolveUI. </p> <h3>Example</h3> <p> An example application RevolveEg is provided. It uses an array of ten integer values which defines five 2D points of a function, to generate the revolution surface. </p> <h3>Files</h3> <p><i>iac_proj/revolve/rev_mods.v</i> contains the V definitions of the RevolveParams parameter block and the revolve module.</p> <p><i>iac_proj/revolve/rev_macs.v</i> contains the V definitions of the RevolveFunc Functional Macro, the RevolveUI User Interface Macro, and the revolve User Macro. </p> <p><i>iac_proj/revolve/rev_apps.v</i> contains the V definition of the example application RevolveEg.</p> <h3>Author</h3> <p> <pre> anonymous </pre> </p> <h3>Modifications</h3> <p> <pre> Alexander Korban Manchester Visualization Centre </pre> </p> <h3>Contact</h3> <p> <pre> International AVS Centre Manchester Visualization Centre Manchester Computing University of Manchester Oxford Road Manchester United Kingdom M13 9PL </pre> </p>  </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr height="100%"> <td class="sideLink" width="25%" align="left" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><a href="../../../../general/index.shtml" target="_top">General Information</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../repository/index.shtml" target="_top">Repositories</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../new/index.shtml" target="_top">  New Releases</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../download/index.shtml" target="_top">  Download</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../submit/index.shtml" target="_top">  Submit</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../pfiles/index.shtml" target="_top">  Project Files</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../avs5/index.shtml" target="_top">  AVS5</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../express/index.shtml" target="_top">  AVS/Express</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../atoz.shtml" target="_top">    A to Z</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../number.shtml" target="_top">    Project #</a></p> <p></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../data_io.shtml" target="_top">    Data IO</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../filters.shtml" target="_top">    Filters</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../mappers.shtml" target="_top">    Mappers</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../misc.shtml" target="_top">    Miscellaneous</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../special.shtml" target="_top">    Special Projects</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../pog/index.shtml" target="_top">  Project Guidelines</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../usergroup/index.shtml" target="_top">User Group</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../training/index.shtml" target="_top">Training Materials</a></p> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="c6c6e0"> <tr> <td><img src="../../../../img/foot1.gif" alt="IAC" width="155" height="25"></td> <td width="100%"> Last Updated:  22nd January 2008 </td> </tr> </table>
