+        Sphere (3-D) with diameter *size* [Default unit is **c** (cm)].
+        The sphere is rendered with a radial gradient from white at the light source
+        to the fill color (**-G**) at the opposite side, creating a 3-D appearance.
+        Modifiers:
+
+        - **+a**\ *azimuth* - Set light source azimuth [default: 0, from the right].
+        - **+e**\ *elevation* - Set light source elevation [default: 90, perpendicular to viewing plane].
+        - **+f** - Use flat/constant fill color (no gradient shading).
+        - **+n** - Draw outline only (no fill).
+
+        The outline pen is controlled by **-W**. If no fill color is specified via **-G**,
+        the sphere defaults to black.
