Ellipse

class compas.geometry.Ellipse(plane, major, minor, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: compas.geometry.primitives._primitive.Primitive

A ellipse is defined by a plane and a major.

Parameters

plane (compas.geometry.Plane or tuple of point and normal) – The plane of the ellipse.
major (float) – The major of the ellipse.

Attributes

plane (compas.geometry.Plane) – The plane of the ellipse.
major (float) – The major.
minor (float) – The minor.
center (compas.geometry.Point) – The base point of the plane and center of the ellipse.
normal (compas.geometry.Vector) – The normal vector of the plane.
circumference (float, read-only) – The circumference of the ellipse.
area (float, read-only) – The area of the ellipse.

Examples

>>> from compas.geometry import Plane
>>> from compas.geometry import Ellipse
>>> plane = Plane([0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1])
>>> ellipse = Ellipse(plane, 2, 1)

Methods

`copy`([cls])	Make an independent copy of the data object.
`from_data`(data)	Construct a ellipse 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 ellipse.
`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).
