Circle

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.

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:

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

In this first example we see that circle generator can be a circle but also any regular polygon that you want.

The second example shows the use of mode option and how it generates sector or segment of a circle based on the degrees value.
