--- Generates torus shapes.
-- @module worldeditadditions.torus

--- Generates a torus shape at the given position with the given parameters.
-- @param	position		Vector		The position at which to generate the torus.
-- @param	major_radius	number		The major radius of the torus - i.e. the distance from the middle to the ring.
-- @param	minor_radius	number		The minor radius of the torus - i.e. the radius fo the ring itself.
-- @param	target_node		string		The name of the target node to generate the torus with.
-- @param	axes=xz			string|nil	The axes upon which the torus should lay flat.
-- @param	hollow=false	boolean		Whether the generated torus should be hollow or not.
