mymesh.primitives.Circle

mymesh.primitives.Circle(center, radius, theta_resolution=20, radial_resolution=10, axis=2, ElemType=None, Type='surf')

Construct a circle from a center and radius.

Parameters:

• center (array_like) – Center of the circle

• radius (float) – Radius of the circle

• theta_resolution (int, optional) – Number of circumferential points, by default 20

• radial_resolution (int, optional) – Number of radial points from center to edge, by default 10

• axis (int, optional) – Axis perpendicular to the plane of the circle, specified as by integers (0=x, 1=y, 2=z), by default 2.

• ElemType (None, str, optional) – Element type of final mesh. If None, the result will contain predominantly quadrilateral elements with triangular elements at the center. If ‘tri’, the result will be a purely triangular mesh, by default None.

• Type (str, optional) – Mesh type of the final mesh. This could be ‘surf’ for a surface mesh or ‘line’ for a line mesh of just the circumference of the circle, by default ‘surf’.

Returns:

circle – Mesh object containing the circle mesh.

Return type:

mymesh.mesh

Examples

circle = primitives.Circle([0, 0, 0], 1)
circle.plot(bgcolor='w', show_edges=True)
