Abstract: The diagonal metric tensor whose components are functions of one spatial coordinate is considered. Einstein's field equations for a perfect-fluid source are reduced to quadratures once a generating function, equal to the product of two of the metric components, is chosen. The solutions are either static fluid cylinders or walls depending on whether or not one of the spatial coordinates is periodic. Cylinder and wall sources are generated and matched to the vacuum (Levi--Civita) space--time. A match to a cylinder source is achieved for frac12<si<frac12, where si is the mass per unit length in the Newtonian limit sio0, and a match to a wall source is possible for |si|>frac12, this case being without a Newtonian limit; the positive (negative) values of si correspond to a positive (negative) fluid density. The range of si for which a source has previously been matched to the Levi--Civita metric is 0leqsi<frac12 for a cylinder source.
