hole is generated. The disk is subdivided around the z axis into slices (like pizza
slices) and also about the z axis into rings (as specified by Slices and Loops ,
respectively).
See external documentation.

string out of memory.
See external documentation.
getString(Name) -> string()
Types:

indicating the center of the scene, and an UP vector.
See external documentation.
newQuadric() -> integer()
Create a quadrics object
glu:newQuadric creates and returns a pointer to a new quadrics object. This object
must be referred to when calling quadrics rendering and control functions. A return
value of 0 means that there is not enough memory to allocate the object.

ortho2D(Left, Right, Bottom, Top) -> ok
Types:
Left = float()
Right = float()
Bottom = float()
Top = float()
Define a 2D orthographic projection matrix

Types:
Quad = integer()
Inner = float()

Sweep = float()
Draw an arc of a disk
glu:partialDisk renders a partial disk on the z=0 plane. A partial disk is similar
to a full disk, except that only the subset of the disk from Start through Start +
Sweep is included (where 0 degrees is along the +f2yf axis, 90 degrees along the +x
axis, 180 degrees along the -y axis, and 270 degrees along the -x axis).
See external documentation.
perspective(Fovy, Aspect, ZNear, ZFar) -> ok
Types:
Fovy = float()
Aspect = float()
ZNear = float()
ZFar = float()
Set up a perspective projection matrix
glu:perspective specifies a viewing frustum into the world coordinate system. In
general, the aspect ratio in glu:perspective should match the aspect ratio of the
associated viewport. For example, aspect=2.0 means the viewer's angle of view is
twice as wide in x as it is in y. If the viewport is twice as wide as it is tall,
it displays the image without distortion.
See external documentation.
pickMatrix(X, Y, DelX, DelY, Viewport) -> ok
Types:
X = float()
Y = float()
DelX = float()
DelY = float()
Viewport = {integer(), integer(), integer(), integer()}
Define a picking region
glu:pickMatrix creates a projection matrix that can be used to restrict drawing to
a small region of the viewport. This is typically useful to determine what objects
are being drawn near the cursor. Use glu:pickMatrix to restrict drawing to a small
region around the cursor. Then, enter selection mode (with gl:renderMode/1 ) and
rerender the scene. All primitives that would have been drawn near the cursor are
identified and stored in the selection buffer.
See external documentation.

failure.
