angle_planes

compas.geometry.angle_planes(a, b, deg=False)[source]

Compute the smallest angle between the two normal vectors of two planes.

Parameters

• a (point and vector or compas.geometry.Plane) – The first plane.

• b (point and vector or compas.geometry.Plane) – The second plane.

• deg (boolean) – Returns angle in degrees if True.

Returns

float – The smallest angle in radians (in degrees if deg == True). The angle is always positive.

Examples

>>> plane_a = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 1.0]
>>> plane_b = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0, 0.0]
>>> angle_planes(plane_a, plane_b, True)
