Sphere Structure |
Represents the plane and radius values of a sphere.
Namespace: Rhino.Geometry
Assembly: RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll)
SyntaxThe Sphere type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Sphere(Plane, Double) |
Initializes a new sphere given the plane of the equator circle and radius.
|
 | Sphere(Point3d, Double) |
Initializes a new sphere given center point and radius.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BoundingBox |
Gets the world aligned bounding box for this Sphere.
If the Sphere is Invalid, an empty box is returned.
|
| Center |
Gets or sets the center point of the sphere.
|
| Diameter |
Gets or sets the diameter for this sphere.
|
| EquatorialPlane |
Gets or sets the Equatorial plane for this sphere.
|
| IsValid |
Gets a value that indicates whether the sphere is valid.
|
| NorthPole |
Gets the point at the North Pole of the sphere.
This is the parameterization singularity that can be obtained, at V value +Math.Pi/2. |
| Radius |
Gets or sets the Radius for this sphere.
|
| SouthPole |
Gets the point at the South Pole of the sphere.
This is the parameterization singularity that can be obtained, at V value -Math.Pi/2. |
 | Unset |
Gets a sphere with invalid members.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| ClosestParameter |
Finds the angle parameters on this sphere that are closest to a test point.
|
| ClosestPoint |
Returns point on sphere that is closest to given point.
|
| EpsilonEquals |
Check that all values in other are within epsilon of the values in this
|
| Equals | Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| FitSphereToPoints |
Attempts to fit a sphere to a collection of points.
|
| GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| LatitudeDegrees |
Computes the parallel at a specific latitude angle.
The angle is specified in degrees. |
| LatitudeRadians |
Computes the parallel at a specific latitude angle.
The angle is specified in radians. |
| LongitudeDegrees |
Computes the meridian at a specific longitude angle.
The angle is specified in degrees. |
| LongitudeRadians |
Computes the meridian at a specific longitude angle.
The angle is specified in radians. |
| NormalAt |
Computes the normal at a specific angular location on the sphere.
|
| PointAt | Evaluates the sphere at specific longitude and latitude angles. |
| Rotate(Double, Vector3d) |
Rotates the sphere about the center point.
|
| Rotate(Double, Vector3d, Point3d) |
Rotates this sphere about a point and an axis.
|
| Rotate(Double, Double, Vector3d) |
Rotates this sphere about the center point.
|
| Rotate(Double, Double, Vector3d, Point3d) |
Rotates this sphere about a point and an axis.
|
| ToBrep |
Converts this sphere is it Brep representation
|
| ToNurbsSurface |
Converts this sphere to its NurbsSurface representation.
This is synonymous with calling NurbsSurface.CreateFromSphere().
|
| ToRevSurface |
Converts this Sphere to a RevSurface representation.
This is synonymous with calling RevSurface.CreateFromSphere().
|
| ToString | Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| Transform |
Transforms this sphere. Note that non-similarity preserving transformations
cannot be applied to a sphere as that would result in an ellipsoid.
|
| Translate |
Moves this sphere along a motion vector.
