/PolyCone

/PolyCone describes a rotational body around the z axis. The shape of /PolyCone is piled-up /Cons's in the z direction. /PolyCone corresponds to class G4BREPSolidPCone of GEANT4. But /PolyCone is not really used in GEANT4 visualization. /Polyhedron ... /EndPolyhedron is used instead.

Format /PolyCone sphi dphi nz

z[nz] rmin[nz] rmax[nz]

(A[n] abbreviates a list of n real numbers)

sphi starting azimuthal angle, ]

dphi extension of azimuthal angle, dphi =

and sphi + dphi = ]

nz number of given z coordinates to define piled-up /Cons's:

nz is equal to the number of the piled-up /Cons's

plus one.

z[i] z coordinate of the top plane of the i-th /Cons.

The z[0] defines the bottom plane of the whole shape.

i = 0,1,2, ..., nz -1.

rmin[i] minimum (inside) radius at z = z[i]

rmax[i] maximum (outside) radius at z = z[i]
