A three dimensional shape with two flat ends that are circular. The cylinder has the same cross-section from one end to the other, extending about the Z axis.

The 'radius' specifies the circular size about the Z axis, while the 'height' specifies the size. Cylinders can be created at a requested 'center'. The 'segments' specify the number of segments to create per full rotation.

Defaults:

• radius : 1
• height : 2
• center : [0, 0, 0]
• segments : 32

const myshape = cylinder({radius: 5, height: 10})
const myshape = cylinder({radius: 5, height: 10, center: [5, 5, 5], segments: 64})
