Cylinder( orgin,r,h,dir,n,closed )

function [hCylinder,hPlate1,hPlate2] = Cylinder( orgin,r,h,dir,n,closed )
% This Function plots a cylinder at specified orgin, with specified radius, height, direction(axis), no of points along the circumference
% 
%   Typical Call Cylinder( orgin,r,h,dir,n ), Note: there is a matlab function "cylinder"
% 
%   orgin: vector of order 3 x 1 specifies orgin
%   h    : Height of the Cylinder
%   dir  : String to specify axis of extrution 'x' or 'y' or 'z' (Only along these axes...!)
%   n    : no of points along the circumference
