Class: QgsSphere

A spherical geometry object.

Represents a simple 3-dimensional sphere.

Added in version 3.34.

Methods

boundingBox	Returns the 3-dimensional bounding box containing the sphere.
center	Returns the center point of the sphere.
centerVector	Returns the vector to the center of the sphere.
centerX	Returns the x-coordinate of the center of the sphere.
centerY	Returns the y-coordinate of the center of the sphere.
centerZ	Returns the z-coordinate of the center of the sphere.
diameter	Returns the diameter of the sphere.
isEmpty	Returns True if the sphere is considered empty, i.e. it has a radius of 0.
isNull	Returns True if the sphere is a null (default constructed) sphere.
radius	Returns the radius of the sphere.
setCenter	Sets the center point of the sphere.
setRadius	Sets the radius of the sphere.
