A cylindrogram is the surface of revolution of a parallelogram, just as a cylinder is the surface of revolution of a rectangle. It can also be thought of as a cylinder with a cone removed from one end and placed on the other. As such, this shape has the same volume as a cylinder with the same radius and height.
