Cone

class compas.geometry.Cone(circle, height, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Shape

A cone is defined by a circle and a height.

Parameters
  • circle ([plane, radius] | compas.geometry.Circle) – The base circle of the cone.

  • height (float) – The height of the cone.

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

  • circle (compas.geometry.Circle) – The circle of the cone.

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

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

  • height (float) – The height of the cone.

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

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

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

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

Examples

>>> from compas.geometry import Plane
>>> from compas.geometry import Cone
>>> plane = Plane([0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1])
>>> circle = Circle(plane, 5)
>>> cone = Cone(circle, 7)
