How can I draw shapes other than cubes?

Question

How can I draw shapes other than cubes with x3dom? For instance, one shape I want to draw is a semi circle/cylinder. I can only find documentation to draw a cube which I already do. I have not found good documentation yet for x3dom.

Answer 1

X3DOM actually just wraps X3D. So you may better start with the X3D documentation. A quite good overview can be found here: X3D Slides.

There are some other primitives provided like:

<Shape>
  <Sphere radius='1'/>
  <Appearance>
    <Material/>
  </Appearance>
</Shape>

Also the examples provide a good starting point.
