Circle

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

Bases: Primitive

A circle is defined by a plane and a radius.

Parameters

• plane ([point, vector] | compas.geometry.Plane) – 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 of the circle.

• center (compas.geometry.Point) – The center of the circle.

• normal (compas.geometry.Vector, read-only) – The normal of the circle.

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

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

• circumference (float, read-only) – The circumference 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)
