.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies a quadrics object (created with _cmnd(NewQuadric)).
_phead(_param2)
Specifies the inner radius of the partial disk (can be 0).
_phead(_param3)
Specifies the outer radius of the partial disk.
_phead(_param4)
Specifies the number of subdivisions around the \f2z\fP axis.
_phead(_param5)
Specifies the number of concentric rings about the origin into which
the partial disk is subdivided.
_phead(_param6)
Specifies the starting angle, in degrees, of the disk portion.
_phead(_param7)
Specifies the sweep angle, in degrees, of the disk portion.
.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd renders a partial disk on the $ z ~=~ 0 $ plane. A partial disk is 
similar to a full disk, except that only the subset of the disk from
_param6 through _param6 + _param7 is included (where 0 degrees is along the 
+\f2y\f axis,
90 degrees along the +\f2x\fP axis, 180 degrees along the \-\f2y\fP axis, and 
270 degrees along the \-\f2x\fP axis).
.P
The partial disk has a radius of 
_param3, and contains a concentric circular hole with a radius 
of _param2. If _param2 is 0, then no hole is generated. The partial disk is
subdivided around the \f2z\fP axis into slices (like pizza slices), and also
about the \f2z\fP axis into rings 
(as specified by _param4 and _param5, respectively).
.P
With respect to orientation, the +\f2z\fP 
side of the partial disk is considered to 
be outside (see _cmnd(QuadricOrientation)).
This means that if the 
orientation is set to _gluconst(OUTSIDE), then any normals generated 
point along the +\f2z\fP axis. Otherwise, they point along the \-\f2z\fP 
axis.
.P
If texturing is turned on (with _cmnd(QuadricTexture)), texture
coordinates are generated
linearly such that where $ r ~=~ _eqnparam3 $, the value at (\f2r\fP, 0, 0) is 
(1.0, 0.5), at (0, \f2r\fP, 0) it is (0.5, 1.0), at (\-\f2r\fP, 0, 0) 
it is (0.0, 0.5), and 
at (0, \-\f2r\fP, 0) it is (0.5, 0.0).
