tikz-cylinder

Draw cylinder in tikz-3dprint environment.

sample image

Usage

You can compile cylinder.tex and get cylinder.pdf.

$ latex cylinder.tex
$ dvipdfmx cylinder.dvi

If you want to use in your project, you can follow the three steps below.

  1. Copy paste the \newcommand part in cylinder.tex to your file.
  2. In tkzpicture, set rotated coordinates by \tdplotsetrotatedcoords{α}{β}{γ}.
  3. Call \tdcylinder to draw cylinder in the rotated coordinates.

\tdcylinder takes 7 parameters.

Syntax: \tdcylinder{x}{y}{z}{r}{h}{θ}{φ};

Parameter Description
x The x-compornent of the position vector of center of bottom circle in the rortated coordinate frame.
y The y-compornent of the position vector of center of bottom circle in the rortated coordinate frame.
z The z-compornent of the position vector of center of bottom circle in the rortated coordinate frame.
r The radius of the cylinder.
h The height of the cylinder.
θ The angle (in degrees) through which the coordinate frame is rotated about the x axis. The value set in \tdplotsetmaincoords.
φ The angle (in degrees) through which the coordinate frame is rotated about the z axis. The value set in \tdplotsetmaincoords.

Known issues

  1. Cause error when θ of the main coordinate system is set to 0.
  2. When viewing a cylinder from the bottom, the \filldraw commands must be done in reverse order.
