For a cone with peak, the center you specify in meep is at half the altitude (line from the peak that perpendicularly bisects the base).

For a cone with two radii, I don't remember, but I guess it's the halfway point between the two bases.

It's easy to check! Just make a test geometry and look at the output.

Best,
Matt

Dear Meep users,

Does anyone know where the centre point of a cone is?!

I think it is obvious to figure out where is the centre point for a cylinder, sphere, block, ellipsoid, but where not the cone geometry object!

Thanks,
Asa
