NAME
glutSolidSphere, glutWireSphere - render a solid or wireframe sphere respectively.

SYNTAX

void glutSolidSphere(GLdouble radius,
                     GLint slices, GLint stacks);
void glutWireSphere(GLdouble radius,

ARGUMENTS

radius
    The radius of the sphere.

slices
    The number of subdivisions around the Z axis (similar to lines of longitude).

stacks
