        radius : float -> CylindricalSurface 

Parameters

frameOfReference  Frame

frameOfReference is an orthonormal frame that defines a local coordinate system for the cylinder.

• Frame.Origin is a point on the cylinder's axis.
• Frame.BasisZ points along the axis, while Frame.BasisX and Frame.BasisY are orthogonal to the axis.
• The frame may be either left-handed or right-handed (see Frame.IsRightHanded). Note that the "handedness" of the frame does not, by itself, determine the surface's orientation.

radius  Double

Radius of the circle that defines the base of the cylindrical surface.

Return Value

• Frame.BasisX points from the axis point to the point on the cylinder with coordinates (0, 0).
• Frame.BasisY points in the direction of the partial derivative dS/du at (0, 0).
• Frame.BasisZ points in the direction of the partial derivative dS/dv at (0, 0).
