Cone
Cone
represents a cone with a base of radius
r
centered at
and a tip at
.
Cone
represents a cone with a base of radius 1.
MORE INFORMATION
Cone
renders as a cone in
Graphics3D
.
Cone
represents the whole filled cone, not just the surface.
The base of the cone is a disk.
The base radius of the cone can be specified either in absolute coordinates, or as
Scaled
[
s
]
.
Colors and other material properties of cones can be specified using color directives as well as
Specularity
and
Glow
.
Cones can be specified as transparent using
Opacity
directives.
Cone
is equivalent to
Cone
.
Cone
represents a collection of cones with base radius
.
Cone
represents a collection of cones with base radius
r
.
Cone
represents a collection of cones with specifications
and base radii
.

Scope
(12)
If no radius is specified, it is assumed to be 1:
Cone with different radii:
Cone with different directions:
Short form for a cone centered at the origin with a base radius 1:
Use
Scaled

Multiple cones:
Color directives specify the face colors of cones:
FaceForm
and
EdgeForm
can be used to specify the styles of the faces and edges:
Different properties can be specified for the front and back faces using
FaceForm
:
Cones with different specular exponents:
White cone that glows red:
Opacity
specifies the face opacity:
