Detailed Description

Ellipse geometry type.

An ellipse is defined by a center point with a semi-major axis, a semi-minor axis and an azimuth. The azimuth is the north angle to the first quadrant (always oriented on the semi-major axis), in degrees. By default, the semi-major axis is oriented to the east (90 degrees). The semi-minor axis is always smaller than the semi-major axis. If it is set larger, it will be swapped and the azimuth will increase by 90 degrees.

Since
QGIS 3.0

◆ fromCenter2Points()

QgsEllipse QgsEllipse::fromCenter2Points ( const QgsPoint ptc,
const QgsPoint pt1,
const QgsPoint pt2 
)
static

Constructs an ellipse by a central point and two other points.

The center point keeps m value from ptc. Z dimension is also supported and is retrieved from the first 3D point amongst ptc, pt1 and pt2. Axes are calculated from the 2D distance between ptc and pt1 and pt2. The azimuth is the angle between ptc and pt1.

Parameters
ptcCenter point.
pt1First point.
pt2Second point.

Definition at line 89 of file qgsellipse.cpp.

◆ fromCenterPoint()

QgsEllipse QgsEllipse::fromCenterPoint ( const QgsPoint ptc,
const QgsPoint pt1 
)
static

Constructs an ellipse by a center point and a another point.

The center point keeps m value from ptc. Z dimension is also supported and is retrieved from the first 3D point amongst ptc and pt1. Axes are calculated from the 2D distance between ptc and pt1. The azimuth always takes the default value.

Parameters
ptcCenter point.
pt1First point.

Definition at line 77 of file qgsellipse.cpp.

◆ fromExtent()

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

Constructs an ellipse 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 65 of file qgsellipse.cpp.

◆ fromFoci()

QgsEllipse QgsEllipse::fromFoci ( const QgsPoint pt1,
const QgsPoint pt2,
const QgsPoint pt3

static

Constructs an ellipse by foci (pt1 and pt2) and a point pt3.

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 with the third point pt3. The azimuth is the angle between pt1 and pt2.

Parameters
pt1First focus.
pt2Second focus.
pt3A point to calculate the axes.
