SurfaceTryGetCylinder Method (Cylinder, Double)

Tests a surface to see if it is a portion of a cylinder and return the infinite cylinder.

Namespace: Rhino.Geometry
Assembly: RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll)

Since: 5.0

Syntax

public bool TryGetCylinder(
	out Cylinder cylinder,
	double tolerance
)

Public Function TryGetCylinder ( 
	<OutAttribute> ByRef cylinder As Cylinder,
	tolerance As Double
) As Boolean

Parameters

cylinder: Type: Rhino.GeometryCylinder
On success, the cylinder parameters are filled in.
tolerance: Type: SystemDouble
tolerance to use when checking.

Return Value

Type: Boolean
true if the surface is a portion of a cylinder.

Remarks

If successful, an infinite cylinder is returned. When a surface has a cylindrical shape, even if its ends are not circles on the cylinder, it returns the axis and radius. You can detect infinite cylinders using Cylinder.IsFinite.
