Capsule

class compas.geometry.Capsule(line, radius, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Shape

A capsule is defined by a line segment and a radius.

Parameters

• line ([point, point] | compas.geometry.Line) – The axis line of the capsule.

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

Attributes

• line (compas.geometry.Line) – The centre line of the capsule.

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

• start (compas.geometry.Point, read-only) – The start point of the centre line.

• end (compas.geometry.Point, read-only) – The end point of the centre line.

• length (float, read-only) – The length of the centre line of the capsule.

• volume (float, read-only) – The volume of the capsule.

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

Examples

>>> line = Line((1, 2, 3), (5, 3, 1))
>>> capsule = Capsule(line, 2.3)
