Capsule

class compas.geometry.Capsule(line, radius)[source]

Bases: compas.geometry.shapes._shape.Shape

A capsule is defined by a line segment and a radius.

Parameters

  • line (tuple or compas.geometry.Line) – The axis line of the capsule.

  • radius (float) – The radius of the capsule.

Attributes

  • line (compas.geometry.Line) – The axis line of the capsule.

  • start (compas.geometry.Point) – The start point of the axis line. This is the base point of the capsule.

  • end (compas.geometry.Point) – The end point of the axis line. This is the top of the capsule.

  • radius (float) – The radius of the capsule.

  • length (read-only) (float) – The length of the capsule axis line.

  • area (read-only) (float) – The surface area of the capsule.

  • volume (read-only) (float) – The volume of the capsule.

Examples

>>> line = Line((1, 2, 3), (5, 3, 1))
>>> capsule = Capsule(line, 2.3)
