glutSolidSphere(3GLUT)                              GLUT                              glutSolidSphere(3GLUT)



NAME
       glutSolidSphere, glutWireSphere - render a solid or wireframe sphere respectively.

SYNTAX
       void glutSolidSphere(GLdouble radius,
                            GLint slices, GLint stacks);
       void glutWireSphere(GLdouble radius,
                           GLint slices, GLint stacks);

ARGUMENTS
       radius    The radius of the sphere.

       slices    The number of subdivisions around the Z axis (similar to lines of longitude).

       stacks    The number of subdivisions along the Z axis (similar to lines of latitude).

DESCRIPTION
       Renders  a  sphere centered at the modeling coordinates origin of the specified radius. The sphere is
       subdivided around the Z axis into slices and along the Z axis into stacks.
