Circle ====== .. image:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14288520/188688493-18413b57-3f2e-49e6-8bbf-840a34a93b19.png :target: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14288520/188688493-18413b57-3f2e-49e6-8bbf-840a34a93b19.png Functionality ------------- Circle generator creates circles based on the radius and the number of vertices. A higher number of verts gives a more detailed approximation of a circle:: - 3 vertices = triangle. - 4 vertices = square - ... - 6 vertices = hexagon - ... - Many vertices = circle This node will also create sector or segment of a circle using the **Degrees** option. See the examples below to see it working also with the **mode** option. .. image:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14288520/191244809-264cf486-eb00-4399-921b-b7f685551bd0.png :target: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14288520/191244809-264cf486-eb00-4399-921b-b7f685551bd0.png Inputs ------ All inputs are vectorized and they will accept single or multiple values. There are three inputs: - **Radius** - **N Vertices** - **Degrees** Same as other generators, all inputs will accept a single number, an array or even an array of arrays:: [2] [2, 4, 6] [[2], [4]] Parameters ---------- All parameters except **Mode** can be given by the node or an external input. +----------------+---------------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+ | Param | Type | Default | Description | +================+===============+=============+====================================================+ | **Radius** | Float | 1.00 | radius of the circle | +----------------+---------------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+ | **N Vertices** | Int | 24 | number of vertices to generate the circle | +----------------+---------------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+ | **Degrees** | Float | 360.0 | angle for a sector/segment circle | +----------------+---------------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+ | **Mode** | Boolean | False | switch between two sector and segment circle | +----------------+---------------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+ Outputs ------- **Vertices**, **Edges** and **Polygons**. All outputs will be generated. Depending on the type of the inputs, the node will generate only one or multiple independent circles. In example: .. image:: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5990821/4187227/07366302-3768-11e4-8e9c-4068c9ce6773.png :target: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5990821/4187227/07366302-3768-11e4-8e9c-4068c9ce6773.png :alt: CircleDemo1.PNG .. image:: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5990821/4187228/0759a754-3768-11e4-80a4-458e286edf20.png :target: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5990821/4187228/0759a754-3768-11e4-80a4-458e286edf20.png :alt: CircleDemo2.PNG As you can see in the red rounded values, depending on how many data inputs the node has, will be generated those same number of outputs. If **Degrees** is less than 360, depending of the **mode** state, the node generates a sector or a segment of a circle of the given number of degrees. Example of usage ---------------- .. image:: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5990821/4186877/ab2f2e98-3764-11e4-9cd6-502228eec31c.png :target: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5990821/4186877/ab2f2e98-3764-11e4-9cd6-502228eec31c.png :alt: CircleDemo3.PNG In this first example we see that circle generator can be a circle but also any regular polygon that you want. .. image:: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5990821/4186876/ab2edf4c-3764-11e4-980e-d9beb10b16d8.png :target: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5990821/4186876/ab2edf4c-3764-11e4-980e-d9beb10b16d8.png :alt: CircleDemo4.PNG The second example shows the use of **mode** option and how it generates sector or segment of a circle based on the **degrees** value.
