zoom_win - zooms on a window space

pipe1 - draws a pipe (from the pipe program) with no zoom

cylinder3 - is to draw a cylinder for orifice purpose

viewrightside - change view to viewrightside

array1 - draw starting at point p1, n1 -- as many rows as the tank length/orifice dist, n2 - 1 and provide orifice distance as the next draw point for the cylinder

subtract1 - subtract unneeded portion of the cylinders
