trimesh.path.arc¶
- trimesh.path.arc.arc_center(points, return_normal=True, return_angle=True)¶
Given three points on a 2D or 3D arc find the center, radius, normal, and angular span.
- Parameters
points ((3, dimension) float) – Points in space, where dimension is either 2 or 3
return_normal (bool) – If True calculate the 3D normal unit vector
return_angle (bool) – If True calculate the start and stop angle and span
- Returns
result –
- Contains arc center and other keys:
’center’ : (d,) float, cartesian center of the arc ‘radius’ : float, radius of the arc ‘normal’ : (3,) float, the plane normal. ‘angles’ : (2,) float, angle of start and end in radians ‘span’ : float, angle swept by the arc in radians
- Return type
dict
- trimesh.path.arc.discretize_arc(points, close=False, scale=1.0)¶
Returns a version of a three point arc consisting of line segments.
- Parameters
points ((3, d) float) – Points on the arc where d in [2,3]
close (boolean) – If True close the arc into a circle
scale (float) – What is the approximate overall drawing scale Used to establish order of magnitude for precision
- Returns
discrete – Connected points in space
- Return type
(m, d) float
- trimesh.path.arc.to_threepoint(center, radius, angles=None)¶
For 2D arcs, given a center and radius convert them to three points on the arc.
- Parameters
center ((2,) float) – Center point on the plane
radius (float) – Radius of arc
angles ((2,) float) – Angles in radians for start and end angle if not specified, will default to (0.0, pi)
- Returns
three – Arc control points
- Return type
(3, 2) float
