Ellipse

class compas.geometry.Ellipse(plane, major, minor, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Primitive

A ellipse is defined by a plane and a major and minor axis.

Parameters

plane ([point, vector] | Plane) – The plane of the ellipse.
major (float) – The major of the ellipse.
minor (float) – The minor of the ellipse.

Attributes

plane (Plane) – The plane of the ellipse.
major (float) – The major of the ellipse.
minor (float) – The minor of the ellipse.
normal (Vector, read-only) – The normal of the ellipse.
center (Point, read-only) – The center of the ellipse.
area (float, read-only) – The area of the ellipse.
circumference (float, read-only) – The circumference of the ellipse.

Examples

>>> from compas.geometry import Plane
>>> from compas.geometry import Ellipse
>>> plane = Plane([0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1])
>>> ellipse = Ellipse(plane, 2, 1)
