Cylinder

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

Bases: Shape

A cylinder is defined by a circle and a height.

Parameters

circle ([plane, radius] | compas.geometry.Circle) – The circle of the cylinder.
height (float) – The height of the cylinder.

Attributes

plane (compas.geometry.Plane) – The plane of the cylinder.
circle (compas.geometry.Circle) – The circle of the cylinder.
center (compas.geometry.Point) – The center of the cylinder.
radius (float) – The radius of the cylinder.
height (float) – The height of the cylinder.
normal (compas.geometry.Vector, read-only) – The normal of the cylinder.
diameter (float, read-only) – The diameter of the cylinder.
area (float, read-only) – The surface area of the cylinder.
volume (float, read-only) – The volume of the cylinder.

Examples

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

Methods

`from_jsonstring`	Construct an object from serialized data contained in a JSON string.
`to_data`	Convert an object to its native data representation.
`to_json`	Serialize the data representation of an object to a JSON file.
`to_jsonstring`	Serialize the data representation of an object to a JSON string.
`transformed`	Returns a transformed copy of this geometry.
`validate_data`	Validate the object's data against its data schema.
`validate_json`	Validate the object's data against its json schema.
