I am asking for someone's kind help with creating the figure blow for a poster. The figure I have is a bit too basic and I am don't know how to use Photoshop as yet.

enter image description hereMany thanks in advance for any help.

    This is possible in Mathematica. Here's some code But seriously, do it in Photoshop, Gimp, Affinity Photo, inkscape or whatever. It will all make this a lot easier and look better in the end. – flinty Mar 18 '24 at 16:13

Something like:

cyl[x_] = {
   Circle[{x + -2, 0}, {0.2, 1}],
   Circle[{x + 2, 0}, {0.2, 1}],
   Line[{{x + -2, 1}, {x + 2, 1}}],
   Line[{{x + -2, -1}, {x + 2, -1}}],
   Arrow[{{x + -2, 0}, {x + -1.92, -0.5}}],
   Arrow[{{x + -2, 0}, {x + -2, 0.7}}],

Dashing[0.005],
   Circle[{x + -2, 0}, {0.1, 0.7}],
   Circle[{x + 2, 0}, {0.1, 0.7}],
   Line[{{x + -2, 0.7}, {x + 2, 0.7}}],
   Line[{{x + -2, -0.7}, {x + 2, -0.7}}]
   };
Graphics[{PointSize[0.008], Arrowheads[0.02], Thickness[0.001],
  cyl[-3],
  cyl[3],
  Arrow[{{-0.7, 0}, {0.7, 0}}],
  Point[{{-5, 0.85}, {5, 0.85}, {-3, 0.7}, {-3, -1}, {3, 
     1}, {3, -0.7}, {-1, 0.85}, {1, 0.85}}],
  Text @@@ {{"Rin", {-4.7, 
      0.3}}, {"Rout", {-4.6, -0.3}}, {"rin", {1.3, 
      0.3}}, {"rout", {1.3, -0.3}}, {"P", {-5.2, 0.85}}, {"p", {0.8, 
      0.85}}, {"Q", {-0.8, 0.85}}, {"q", {5.2, 0.85}}, {"R", {-3, 
      0.85}}, {"S", {-3, -0.85}}, {"r", {3, 0.85}}, {"s", {3, -0.85}}},
  ImageSize -> 400
  }]

You could also import an image of this:

cylinders = Graphics3D[
 {
  {Opacity[0.5], White, 
   Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}, 0.5]},
  {Opacity[0.2], Blue, Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}, 1]

}
  },
 Boxed -> False,ViewPoint -> {-12, -10, 20}]

export:

Export["image.png",Image[cylinders]]

And then annotate the image in Inkscape, etc.
