compas.geometry.Cylinder

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

Bases: compas.geometry.shapes._shape.Shape

A cylinder is defined by a circle and a height.

Parameters

circle (compas.geometry.Circle) – The circle of the cylinder.
height (float) – The height of the cylinder.

Attributes

plane (compas.geometry.Plane) – The plane containing the circle.
circle (compas.geometry.Circle) – The base circle of the cylinder.
radius (float) – The radius of the base circle.
height (float) – The height of the cylinder.
normal (read-only) (compas.geometry.Vector) – The normal of the base plane.
diameter (float) – The diameter of the cylinder.

Examples

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

Methods

`copy`([cls])	Make an independent copy of the data object.
`from_data`(data)	Construct a cylinder from its data representation.
`from_json`(filepath)	Construct an object from serialized data contained in a JSON file.
`from_jsonstring`(string)	Construct an object from serialized data contained in a JSON string.
`to_data`()	Convert an object to its native data representation.
`to_json`(filepath[, pretty])	Serialize the data representation of an object to a JSON file.
`to_jsonstring`([pretty])	Serialize the data representation of an object to a JSON string.
`to_vertices_and_faces`([u])	Returns a list of vertices and faces.
`transform`(transformation)	Transform the cylinder.
`transformed`(transformation)	Returns a transformed copy of this primitive.
`validate_data`()	Validate the object’s data against its data schema (self.DATASCHEMA).
`validate_json`()	Validate the object’s data against its json schema (self.JSONSCHEMA).
