Circle

class compas.geometry.Circle(plane, radius, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: compas.geometry.primitives._primitive.Primitive

A circle is defined by a plane and a radius.

Parameters

• plane (compas.geometry.Plane or tuple of point and normal) – The plane of the circle.

• radius (float) – The radius of the circle.

Attributes

• plane (compas.geometry.Plane) – The plane of the circle.

• radius (float) – The radius.

• center (compas.geometry.Point) – The base point of the plane and center of the circle.

• normal (compas.geometry.Vector) – The normal vector of the plane.

• diameter (float, read-only) – The diameter of the circle.

• circumference (float, read-only) – The circumference of the circle.

• area (float, read-only) – The area of the circle.

Examples

>>> from compas.geometry import Plane
>>> from compas.geometry import Circle
>>> plane = Plane([0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1])
>>> circle = Circle(plane, 5)

Methods

copy([cls])	Make an independent copy of the data object.
from_data(data)	Construct a circle from its data representation.
from_json(filepath)	Construct an object from serialized data contained in a JSON file.
from_jsonstring(string)	Construct an object from serialized data contained in a JSON string.
to_data()	Convert an object to its native data representation.
to_json(filepath[, pretty])	Serialize the data representation of an object to a JSON file.
to_jsonstring([pretty])	Serialize the data representation of an object to a JSON string.
transform(T)	Transform the circle.
transformed(transformation)	Returns a transformed copy of this geometry.
validate_data()	Validate the object's data against its data schema (self.DATASCHEMA).
validate_json()	Validate the object's data against its json schema (self.JSONSCHEMA).
