Description

Hello,
I would like to use this toolbox to make a kinematic diagram, but the joints show as arrows in my model, is there a way to have them appear as cylinders?
Thanks,

Research direction

Start by locating the code responsible for rendering kinematic joints and inspect how joints are currently represented as arrows. Determine the expected cylinder appearance and whether existing visualization tests or examples cover joint rendering. Done means kinematic joints can be displayed as cylinders without breaking the current visualization behavior.
