\title{
Surface Area and Volume of Geometrical Objects
}
\description{
\itemize{
\item \code{g.sphere} the surface and volume of a sphere
\item \code{g.spheroid} the surface and volume of a spheroid
\item \code{g.cylinder} the surface and volume of a cylinder;
note that the surface area calculation ignores the top and bottom.
}
}
\usage{
g.sphere(x)
g.spheroid (x, b = 1)
g.cylinder (x, L = 1)
}
\arguments{
\item{x }{the radius
}
\item{b }{the ratio of long/short radius of the spheroid;
if b<1: the spheroid is oblate.
}
\item{L }{the length of the cylinder
}
}
\value{
A list containing:
\item{surf }{the surface area
}
\item{vol }{the volume
}
}
