Geometry

class compas.robots.Geometry(box=None, cylinder=None, sphere=None, capsule=None, mesh=None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: compas.data.data.Data

Geometrical description of the shape of a link.

Parameters

• box (compas.robots.Box or None) – A box shape primitive.

• cylinder (compas.robots.Cylinder or None) – A cylinder shape primitive.

• sphere (compas.robots.Sphere or None) – A sphere shape primitive.

• capsule (compas.robots.Capsule or None) – A capsule shape primitive.

• mesh (compas.robots.MeshDescriptor or None) – A descriptor of a mesh.

• **kwargs (keyword arguments) – Additional attributes

Attributes

• shape (BaseShape) – The shape of the geometry

• attr (keyword arguments) – Additional attributes

• geo (compas.datastructures.Mesh or compas.geometry.Shape or None) – The native geometry object.

Examples

>>> box = Box('1 1 1')
>>> geo = Geometry(box=box)
