r

-

(optional) radius of the meridian; default=1

• 

The torus command creates a three-dimensional plot data object, which when displayed is a torus centered at [x,y,z], whose meridian has radius r and distance from the center of a meridian to the center of the torus is R.

• 

The plot data object produced by the torus command can be used in a PLOT3D data structure, or displayed using the plots:-display command.
