# Cylinder objects

A cylinder is a stylized projection of a cylinder into the 2-D space of
the diagram.  Cylinders are commonly used to represent bulk data storage in
architecture diagrams, as legacy disk packs were cylindrical in shape.

The shape of a cylinder is defined by the width, height, and radius.
The radius is the minor axis of the ellipse that forms the top of the
cylinder, and the semiellipse the forms the bottom.

# The `fit` attribute

The "`fit`" attribute causes an object to automatically adjust its
"`width`", "`height`", and/or "`radius`" so that it will enclose its
text annotations with a reasonable margin.

is no previous object, "`from (0,0)`".   If no "to" forms are
provided then a single movement in the current layout direction
by either the "linewid" or "lineht" (depending on layout direction)
is used.

The "from" can occur
either before or after the various "to" subclauses.  That does not
matter.  But the order of the various "to" subclauses do matter, of course.

If there are two consecutive *direction* clauses (*direction* is
always one of "`up`", "`down`", "`left`", or "`right`") then
the two will be combined to specify a single line segment.
Hence, the following are equivalent:

# The `thick` and `thin` attributes

The "`thick`" and "`thin`" attributes increase or decrease the stroke-width
for the lines used to draw an object.  There can be multiple "`thick`" or
"`thin`" attributes - the effects are cumulative.
