This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}} .It is recommended to name the SVG file “Spiral screw.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
Summary
Description |
English: This is an example generated with LAI4D of a "revolved" entity. By default this type of entity builds a surface of revolution with the given profile around the Z axis, but it can optionally be a screw like surface providing the "advance" member, as it is done in this example.
Profiles can mix curved and straight segments and can have corners since they are defined through the same algorithm used for the "curve" entity. A profile can be defined by a set of 3D points so it does not need to be plane. In this case the profile curve represents a 3D spiral. Cones and cylinders can be generated using a straight segment as profile. Organic surfaces may take several seconds to render. |
