[Gmsh] Mesh of a ball

[Marc Durufle]

Hello,
i find gmsh very cool. But i really don't understand how works the 
extrusion. If i want to create a sphere, i can by example make an 
extrusion by rotation of an angle of Pi/2, and by symetry i can have the 
sphere. Then, i make a 3D mesh of the ball. But my question is when you 
extrude a line, you get a surface, and where do you put the number of 
this surface ??

the beginning of Boule.geo should begin like that :

lc=0.5;
// two points for an arc
Point(1) = {0,0,-2.0};
Point(2) = {0,-2.0,0.0};

//center of the ball
Point(4) = {0.0,0.0,0.0}

Circle(1) = {1,4,2}


// i want to extrude Circle 1 of an angle Pi/2 around the axis Oz
Extrude Line = {1,{0,0,1},{0,0,0},Pi/2};

// where is my surface, resulting of the extrusion ???

Well, if you have a file, which mesh a ball, i am interested.
(Une couronne sphérique aussi, pour les francophones ).

Thank you in advance.
