Sphere

class compas.geometry.Sphere(point, radius, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Shape

A sphere is defined by a point and a radius.

Parameters

point ([float, float, float] | Point) – The center of the sphere.
radius (float) – The radius of the sphere.

Attributes

point (Point) – The center of the sphere.
radius (float) – The radius of the sphere.
center (Point, read-only) – The center of the sphere.
area (float, read-only) – The surface area of the sphere.
volume (float, read-only) – The volume of the sphere.

Examples

>>> from compas.geometry import Point
>>> from compas.geometry import Sphere
>>> sphere1 = Sphere(Point(1, 1, 1), 5)
>>> sphere2 = Sphere((2, 4, 1), 2)
>>> sphere3 = Sphere([2, 4, 1], 2)

>>> from compas.geometry import Point
>>> from compas.geometry import Sphere
>>> sphere = Sphere(Point(1, 1, 1), 5)
>>> sdict = {'point': [1., 1., 1.], 'radius': 5.}
>>> sdict == sphere.data
True
