        <para>
            <function>gluDisk</function> renders a disk on the <emphasis>z</emphasis> = 0 plane. The 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 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 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.

            If texturing has been turned on (with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluQuadricTexture</refentrytitle></citerefentry>), 
            texture coordinates are generated
            linearly such that where
