CylinderMesh

Detailed Description

The CylinderMesh element in QML provides a way to create a simple cylinder object, usually for testing material effects. Cylinder's center is its barycenter. For example, the following QML code displays a green cylinder with a uniform diameter of 0.5, and a length of 3.0:

 Item3D {
     mesh: CylinderMesh {
         radius: 0.5
         length: 3.0
     }
     effect: Effect {
         color: "#aaca00"
     }
 }

The CylinderMesh element is part of the Qt3D.Shapes namespace, so the following must appear at the top of any QML file that references it:

 import Qt3D.Shapes 1.0

The cylinder shape can have differing levels of detail, allowing for additional slices and layers to be drawn if more detailed meshes are required.

To display the cylinder mesh you can create your own Item3D as shown above, or use the convenience Cylinder QML Component.

 Cylinder {
     radius: 0.5
     length: 3.0
     effect: Effect {
         color: "#aaca00"
     }
 }
