LinkShape

LinkShape[l, r1, r2, w]
is a Graphics3D primitive that draws link shape with llength r1 and r2 radius and w width.
LinkShape[l]
is equivalent with LinkShape[l, , , ]
LinkShape[l, r]
is equivalent with LinkShape[l, r, r, ]
LinkShape[l, r1, r2]
is equivalent with LinkShape[l, r1, r2, ]
LinkShape[]
is equivalent with
  • The center point of the lower circle is {0,0,0}. The center point of the upper circle is {l,0,0}.
  • The following options can be given:
PolygonNumber10number of polygons used for the half circle roundin
  • If the PolygonNumber→None, than the resulted graphics primitive is a line with two point at the two end.
  • The PointSize of the points are r1/l and r2/l respectively. The thickness of the line is w/l.
