Detailed Description

Circle geometry type.

A circle is defined by a center point with a radius and an azimuth. The azimuth is the north angle to the semi-major axis, in degrees. By default, the semi-major axis is oriented to the north (0 degrees).

QgsCircle::QgsCircle ( const QgsPoint center,
double  radius,

Member Function Documentation

double QgsCircle::area ( ) const

Reimplemented from QgsEllipse.

Definition at line 288 of file qgscircle.cpp.

QgsRectangle QgsCircle::boundingBox ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the minimal bounding box for the ellipse.

Reimplemented from QgsEllipse.

bool QgsCircle::contains ( const QgsPoint point,
double  epsilon = 1E-8

Returns true if the circle contains the point.

Definition at line 344 of file qgscircle.cpp.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::from2Points ( const QgsPoint pt1,
const QgsPoint pt2 
)
static

Constructs a circle by 2 points on the circle.

The center point can have m value which is the result from the midpoint operation between pt1 and pt2. Z dimension is also supported and is retrieved from the first 3D point amongst pt1 and pt2. The radius is calculated from the 2D distance between pt1 and pt2. The azimuth is the angle between pt1 and pt2.

Parameters
pt1First point.
pt2Second point.

Definition at line 37 of file qgscircle.cpp.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::from3Points ( const QgsPoint pt1,
const QgsPoint pt2,
const QgsPoint pt3,
double  epsilon = 1E-8 
)
static

Constructs a circle by 3 points on the circle.

M value is dropped for the center point. Z dimension is supported and is retrieved from the first 3D point amongst pt1, pt2 and pt3. The azimuth always takes the default value. If the points are colinear an empty circle is returned.

Parameters
pt1First point.
pt2Second point.
pt3Third point.
epsilonValue used to compare point.

Constructs a circle by 3 tangents on the circle (aka inscribed circle of a triangle).

Z and m values are dropped for the center point. The azimuth always takes the default value.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::fromCenterDiameter ( const QgsPoint center,
double  diameter,
double  azimuth = 0 
)
static

Constructs a circle by a center point and a diameter.

The center point keeps z and m values from center.

Parameters

azimuthAzimuth of the circle.

Definition at line 176 of file qgscircle.cpp.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::fromCenterPoint ( const QgsPoint center,
const QgsPoint pt1 
)
static

Constructs a circle by a center point and another point.

The center point keeps z and m values from center. Axes are calculated from the 2D distance between center and pt1. The azimuth is the angle between center and pt1.

Parameters
centerCenter point.
pt1A point on the circle.

Definition at line 181 of file qgscircle.cpp.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::fromExtent ( const QgsPoint pt1,
const QgsPoint pt2 
)
static

Constructs a circle by an extent (aka bounding box / QgsRectangle).

The center point can have m value which is the result from the midpoint operation between pt1 and pt2. Z dimension is also supported and is retrieved from the first 3D point amongst pt1 and pt2. Axes are calculated from the 2D distance between pt1 and pt2. The azimuth always takes the default value.

Parameters
pt1First corner.
pt2Second corner.

Definition at line 273 of file qgscircle.cpp.

int QgsCircle::intersections ( const QgsCircle other,
QgsPoint intersection1,
QgsPoint intersection2,
bool  useZ = false 
) const

Calculates the intersections points between this circle and an other circle.

If found, the intersection points will be stored in intersection1 and intersection2.

By default this method does not consider any z values and instead treats the circles as 2-dimensional. If useZ is set to true, then an intersection will only occur if the z values of both circles are equal. In this case the points returned for intersection1 and intersection2 will contain the z value of the circle intersections.

Returns
number of intersection points found.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::minimalCircleFrom3Points ( const QgsPoint pt1,
const QgsPoint pt2,
const QgsPoint pt3,
double  epsilon = 1E-8 
)
static

Constructs the smallest circle from 3 points.

Z and m values are dropped for the center point. The azimuth always takes the default value. If the points are colinear an empty circle is returned.

Parameters
pt1First point.
pt2Second point.
pt3Third point.
epsilonValue used to compare point.

QVector< QgsPoint > QgsCircle::northQuadrant ( ) const

They are oriented and started from North.

Returns

int QgsCircle::outerTangents ( const QgsCircle other,
QgsPointXY line1P1,
QgsPointXY line1P2,
QgsPointXY line2P1,
QgsPointXY line2P2 
) const

Calculates the outer tangent points between this circle and an other circle.

The outer tangent points correspond to the points at which the two lines which are drawn so that they are tangential to both circles touch the circles.

The first tangent line is described by the points stored in line1P1 and line1P2, and the second line is described by the points stored in line2P1 and line2P2.

Returns the number of tangents (either 0 or 2).

Note that this method is 2D only and does not consider the z-value of the circle.
