NAME
       gleToroid - Generalized torus, lathe with circle contour.

SYNTAX

       void gleToroid (gleDouble rToroid,
                       gleDouble up[3],
                       gleDouble startRadius,
                       gleDouble drdTheta,
                       gleDouble startZ,
                       gleDouble dzdTheta,
                       gleDouble startXform[2][3],
                       gleDouble dXformdTheta[2][3],
                       gleDouble startTheta,
                       gleDouble sweepTheta);

ARGUMENTS
       rToroid   circle contour (torus) radius

       startRadius
                 spiral starts in x-y plane

       drdTheta  change in radius per revolution

       startZ    starting z value

       dzdTheta  change in Z per revolution

       startXform
                 starting contour affine transformation

       dXformdTheta
                 tangent change xform per revolution

       startTheta
                 start angle in x-y plane

       sweepTheta
                 degrees to spiral around

DESCRIPTION
       Generalized Torus. Similar to gleLathe, except contour is a circle.
       Uses gleLathe to draw.
