#### Cone

The `cone` statement creates a finite length cone or a frustum (a cone with the point cut off). The syntax is:

CONE:
`
  cone {
` <Base_Point>`,` Base_Radius`,` <Cap_Point>`,` Cap_Radius
  [
`open` ][OBJECT_MODIFIERS...] `
  }
`

The geometry of a cone.

Where <Base_Point> and < Cap_Point> are vectors defining the x, y, z coordinates of the center of the cone's base and cap and Base_Radius and Cap_Radius are float values for the corresponding radii.

Normally the ends of a cone are closed by flat planes which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the length of the cone. Adding the optional keyword `open` after Cap_Radius will remove the end caps and results in a tapered hollow tube like a megaphone or funnel.
