intersection_circle_circle_xy

compas.geometry.intersection_circle_circle_xy(circle1, circle2)

Calculates the intersection points of two circles in 2d lying in the XY plane.

Parameters

• circle1 ([plane, float] | compas.geometry.Circle) – Circle defined by a point, with at least XY coordinates, and a radius.

• circle2 ([plane, float] | compas.geometry.Circle) – Circle defined by a point, with at least XY coordinates, and a radius.

Returns

tuple[[float, float, float], [float, float, float]] | None – The intersection points if there are any. If the circles are tangent to each other, the two intersection points are identical. None otherwise.
