<function>gluPartialDisk</function> renders a partial disk on the

plane. A partial disk is
similar to a full disk, except that only the subset of the disk from
<parameter>start</parameter> through <parameter>start</parameter> + <parameter>sweep</parameter> is included (where 0 degrees is along the
+\f2y\f axis,
90 degrees along the +<emphasis>x</emphasis> axis, 180 degrees along the \-<emphasis>y</emphasis> axis, and
270 degrees along the \-<emphasis>x</emphasis> axis).
</para>
<para>
The partial disk has a radius of
<parameter>outer</parameter> and contains a concentric circular hole with a radius
of <parameter>inner</parameter>. If <parameter>inner</parameter> is 0, then no hole is generated. The partial disk is
subdivided around the <emphasis>z</emphasis> axis into slices (like pizza slices) and also
about the <emphasis>z</emphasis> axis into rings
(as specified by <parameter>slices</parameter> and <parameter>loops</parameter>, respectively).
</para>
<para>
With respect to orientation, the +<emphasis>z</emphasis>
side of the partial disk is considered to
be outside (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluQuadricOrientation</refentrytitle></citerefentry>).
This means that if the
orientation is set to <constant>GLU_OUTSIDE</constant>, then any normals generated
point along the +<emphasis>z</emphasis> axis. Otherwise, they point along the \-<emphasis>z</emphasis>
axis.
</para>
<para>
If texturing is turned on (with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluQuadricTexture</refentrytitle></citerefentry>), texture
coordinates are generated
linearly such that where

the value at (<emphasis>r</emphasis>, 0, 0) is
(1.0, 0.5), at (0, <emphasis>r</emphasis>, 0) it is (0.5, 1.0), at (\-<emphasis>r</emphasis>, 0, 0)
it is (0.0, 0.5), and
at (0, \-<emphasis>r</emphasis>, 0) it is (0.5, 0.0).
