deb,

I assume we`re talking about IDL here.

The way I would approach it would be to use MESH_OBJ to create the
vertices and polygons of the primitive object (the cylinder in your
case). You should then be able to drape a 2D image around this using
SHADE_VOLUME, adding the SHADES keyword.

I would supply you with an example, but time is short! I have found the
on-line help examples on the above commands pretty understandable.

Best of luck :-)

Dave
