gleSetNumSides(3GLE) GLE gleSetNumSides(3GLE)NAME
gleSetNumSides, gleGetNumSides - Query and Set the cylinder roundness.
SYNTAX
void gleSetNumSides (int nslices);
int gleGetNumSides (void);
ARGUMENTS
nslices positive integer number of slices
DESCRIPTION
Query and set the GLE cylinder and cone roundness. When GLE draws a
cylinder or a cone, it approximates the circular cross-section with a
polygon (of 20 sides by default). These subroutines can be used to
change the default number of sides in this cross-section. A smaller
number of sides can typically be drawn much faster, at the loss of some
visual accuracy. Increasing the number of sides to more than 20 will
typically have no noticable visual effect.
BUGS
Multiple threads using GLE share a single global number of sides
(although this should be easily fixable because GLE does use a central‐
ized graphics context).
