get_cylinder.m

function [x, y, z] = get_cylinder(center_x, center_y, height, radius)
% get_cylinder - generates cylinder in 3D.
% center_x - center point of cylinder in x-axis
% center_y - center point of cylinder in y-axis
% height - height of cylinder on z-axis
% radius - radius of cylinder on x-axis and y-axis
% [x, y, z] - points which are used to visualize cylinder using surf
