<p class="Normal">Note that the <span class="attribute">pos</span> attribute for cylinder, arrow, cone, pyramid, and helix corresponds to
one end of the object, whereas for a box, sphere, or ring it
corresponds to the center of the object. </p>
<p class="Normal">Currently it is not possible to specify the opacity
of a helix object, which is based on the curve object.</p>
