crystal_ball

Uses spherical coordinate system to create a crystal ball.

Dependencies: rotate_p, cross_sections, polysections, ring_extrude, shape_pie.

Parameters

• radius : The radial distance r.
• theta : The azimuthal angle. It defaults to 360. It also accepts a 2 element vector. The first element of the vector is the beginning angle in degrees, and the second element is the ending angle.
• phi : The polar angle. It defaults to 180. It also accepts a 2 element vector. The first element of the vector is the beginning angle in degrees, and the second element is the ending angle.
• $fa, $fs, $fn : Check the circle module or the sphere module for more details. The final fragments will be a multiple of 4 to fit edges.
