M3dgraSphere

This function adds a sphere graphic to the specified 3D graphics list, allowing you to, for example, view the sphere graphic on a 3D display.

You must specify the label of the 3D graphic, in the 3D graphics list, to use as the parent of the sphere graphic. When the sphere graphic is added to the 3D graphics list's tree structure, it is added as a child under the specified parent. If the 3D graphics list is empty, the sphere graphic's parent must be the root node. All coordinates are expressed in the coordinate system of the sphere graphic's parent.

The sphere graphic has its own coordinate system that represents the sphere graphic's position and orientation with respect to its parent's coordinate system. The origin of the sphere graphic's coordinate system is the sphere graphic's center, and its orientation is inherited, upon creation, from its parent's coordinate system. This means that the sphere graphic's orientation is the same as the orientation of its parent's coordinate system.

Note that although a sphere graphic's coordinate system has an orientation, the orientation has no effect on the appearance of the sphere graphic.

To modify or inquire 3D graphics list settings, use M3dgraControl() or M3dgraInquire(), respectively.

Unlike most other functions that modify a MIL object, you can call this function concurrently from multiple threads on the same MIL 3D graphics list (List3dgraId) without using an M_MUTEX object, as long as all the other parameters of the concurrent calls do not also share data.
