angle_planes

compas.geometry.angle_planes(a, b, deg=False)[source]

Compute the smallest angle between the two normal vectors of two planes.

Parameters

  • a ([point, vector] | Plane) – The first plane.

  • b ([point, vector] | Plane) – The second plane.

  • deg (bool, optional) – If True, returns the angle in degrees.

Returns

  • float – The smallest angle in radians, or in degrees if deg == True.

  • float – The other angle.

Examples

>>> plane_a = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 1.0]
>>> plane_b = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0, 0.0]
>>> angle_planes(plane_a, plane_b, True)
90.0
