Interface Cylinder

GenericSurface, GriddedSurface, ParametricCurveSurface, SurfacePatch

@UML(identifier="GM_Cylinder",
     specification=ISO_19107)
public interface Cylinder
extends GriddedSurface

A gridded surface given as a family of circles whose positions vary along a set of parallel lines, keeping the cross sectional horizontal curves of a constant shape. Given the same working assumptions as in gridded surface, a cylinder can be given by two circles, giving us control points of the form

<<P1, P2, P3>, <P4, P5, P6>>.
