order: 7

A cylinder with hemispherical end caps. Perfect for hot-dog shapes and limb references.

## Parameters

- **Radius** — caps + body radius (default `1.0`)
- **Depth** — straight (cylindrical) section length (default `2.0`). Total capsule height = `depth + 2 × radius`.

## Notes

No rounding parameter — the caps are already smooth. Note that *Depth* measures only the straight mid-section, so a capsule's overall height is always `depth + 2 × radius`; set depth to `0` and you get a sphere.
