The cylinder primitive makes it easy to add tubes and curved surfaces to a scene. It wraps an entity that contains geometry and material components.

Various shapes using cylinders:

<!-- A red hexagon -->
<a-cylinder position="-4 0 -3" rotation="90 -90 20" radius="2" segments-radial="8" color="red"></a-cylinder>

<!-- Pacman -->
<a-cylinder position="0 0 -3" rotation="65 45 0" radius="1" height="1" theta-start="57" theta-length="286" side="double" color="yellow"></a-cylinder>

<!-- A green pipe -->
