  glutSolidSphere and   glutWireSphere render a solid or wireframe sphere respectively.

Usage

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

radius

The radius of the sphere.

slices

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

stacks
