Shape : PolygonCone

Class Description:

This class is used to create a polygon-cone shape. This is a shape with a polygon base which tapers off to a point. A pyramid is an example of a polygon-cone with 4 sides. As the number of sides increases, the base becomes more circular and the resulting shape will more closely resemble a true cone.

Class methods:


init-with radius theRadius (float) sides sideCount (int) height theHeight (float)

Initializes the polygon-cone.

The distance from the center of the n-gon faces to the vertices is theRadius. sides has a maximum value of 99. Higher values will cause the polygon-cone not to be initialized.

The height, or depth of the extrusion, is theHeight.
