Cone

class compas.geometry.Cone(circle, height)[source]

Bases: compas.geometry.shapes._shape.Shape

A cone is defined by a circle and a height.

Parameters
  • circle (tuple or compas.geometry.Circle) – The base circle of the cone.

  • height (float) – The height of the cone.

Attributes
  • plane (compas.geometry.Plane) – The plane containing the circle.

  • circle (compas.geometry.Circle) – The base circle of the cone.

  • radius (float) – The radius of the base circle.

  • height (float) – The height of the cone.

  • normal (read-only) (compas.geometry.Vector) – The normal of the base plane.

  • diameter (float) – The diameter of the cone.

Examples

>>> from compas.geometry import Plane
>>> from compas.geometry import Cone
>>> plane = Plane([0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1])
>>> circle = Circle(plane, 5)
>>> cone = Cone(circle, 7)
