Radius
For any plane normal to the axis of rotation such as ABCD in Figure 6-8, a point 0 on
the axis of rotation is located in the center of the plane. If the radius of the cylinder is not
zero, then the points A, B, C and D are moved radially from 0 until they are a distance, R,
from point 0. Curved boundaries are then formed for the segments AB, BD, AC and CD
using center.0. This is done for each plane normal to the axis of rotation in the reduced index
space.
