Description

A possible enhancement of the cone shape: make it possible to define truncated cones (with a flat circular cap on each end).

The cylinder shape would then, in principle, be a special case of the cone shape, though I'm not sure you would want to go that far. Other kinds of frusta also a possibility.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the cone shape implementation and any related tests, then clarify the API for specifying two end radii and whether cylinders remain separate. Done means truncated cones render with flat circular caps on both ends, with other frusta considered only if explicitly supported.
