Cylinder primitive generation

[skoudoro]

It would be good to have a function that generates the vertices and triangles of a cylinder.

Primitives examples are available here.

@skoudoro I would like to do it. Can you brief a little, do you want the vertices and triangles of capped and uncapped cylinders too?

[skoudoro]

Great! Thanks @tushar5526.

If we could have both, it would be perfect! Just add a boolean option/parameter capped.

[tushar5526]

Great! I will be referring to this code from p5py ( processing for python )

[skoudoro]

We try to avoid adding a dependency when it is not necessary so you can reimplement it and refer to this code on the docstring but do not import this package, please 😄 (even if it is a good one though)

[skoudoro]

Furthermore, the GPL License from p5py is problematic for us.

So you should avoid copy code or import the package. You will need to reimplement it @tushar5526

[tushar5526]

@skoudoro Yes, I will be not importing the package, by referencing I meant the algorithm to generate the vertices & triangles (if that's not an issue ).
Thank you for pointing out the GPL license, I will keep that in mind :)
