not too sure what you want here but if you look up regular polygons i think in the manual you can set a shape up by inputting the number of sides you want. ie 3 would be a triangler based prisom, 4 sides would be a cuboid, so if you make the number big enough it would seem to be like a cylinder.

there have been posts about this i think it had something to do with elfe.
before your post you should search the forum incase the questoin you have has already been adressed.

You'll want to look at the class PolygonDisk, which is included in the file Shape.tz. By giving a PolygonDisk a large number of sides, it will resemble a cylinder.

Here's some sample code:

disk = new PolygonDisk.
disk init-with radius 1.0 sides 30 height 3.0.
