The cylinder primitive is an entity that prescribes the geometry with its geometric primitive set to cylinder. It can be used to create tubes and curved surfaces.

Examples

The cylinder primitive is versatile and can actually be used to create various shapes:

<!-- Basic cylinder. -->
<a-cylinder color="crimson" height="3" radius="1.5"></a-cylinder>

<!-- Hexagon. -->
<a-cylinder color="cyan" segments-radial="8"></a-cylinder>

<!-- Pac-man. -->
<a-cylinder color="yellow" theta-start="50" theta-length="280" side="double"></a-cylinder>

<!-- Green pipe. -->
<a-cylinder color="green" open-ended="true"></a-cylinder>
