    GLdouble start,
    GLdouble sweep )
 eqn not supported
- quad 
- Specifies a quadrics object (created with
gluNewQuadric). 
- inner 
- Specifies the inner radius of the partial disk (can
be 0). 
- outer 
- Specifies the outer radius of the partial disk. 
- slices 
- Specifies
the number of subdivisions around the z axis. 
- loops 
- Specifies the number
of concentric rings about the origin into which the partial disk is subdivided.
- start 
- Specifies the starting angle, in degrees, of the disk portion. 
- sweep
- Specifies the sweep angle, in degrees, of the disk portion. 
gluPartialDisk
renders a partial disk on the $ z ~=~ 0 $ plane. A partial disk is  similar
to a full disk, except that only the subset of the disk from start through
start + sweep is included (where 0 degrees is along the  +yaxis, 90 degrees
along the +x axis, 180 degrees along the -y axis, and  270 degrees along
the -x axis).
The partial disk has a radius of  outer, and contains a concentric
circular hole with a radius  of inner. If inner is 0, then no hole is generated.
The partial disk is subdivided around the z axis into slices (like pizza
slices), and also about the z axis into rings  (as specified by slices
and loops, respectively). 
With respect to orientation, the +z  side of the
partial disk is considered to  be outside (see gluQuadricOrientation). This
means that if the  orientation is set to GLU_OUTSIDE, then any normals
generated  point along the +z axis. Otherwise, they point along the -z  axis.
If texturing is turned on (with gluQuadricTexture), texture coordinates
are generated linearly such that where $ r ~=~ "outer" $, the value at
(r, 0, 0) is  (1.0, 0.5), at (0, r, 0) it is (0.5, 1.0), at (-r, 0, 0)  it is
(0.0, 0.5), and  at (0, -r, 0) it is (0.5, 0.0).
