Detailed Description

Circle geometry type.

A circle is defined by a center point with a radius and an azimuth. The azimuth is the north angle to the semi-major axis, in degrees. By default, the semi-major axis is oriented to the north (0 degrees).

Since: QGIS 3.0

QgsCircle QgsCircle::from2Points	(	const QgsPoint &	pt1,
		const QgsPoint &	pt2
	)

static

Constructs a circle by 2 points on the circle.

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. The radius is calculated from the 2D distance between pt1 and pt2. The azimuth is the angle between pt1 and pt2.

Parameters

pt1	First point.
pt2	Second point.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::from3Points	(	const QgsPoint &	pt1,
		const QgsPoint &	pt2,
		const QgsPoint &	pt3,
		double	epsilon = `1E-8`
	)

static

Constructs a circle by 3 points on the circle.

M value is dropped for the center point. Z dimension is supported and is retrieved from the first 3D point amongst pt1, pt2 and pt3. The azimuth always takes the default value. If the points are colinear an empty circle is returned.

Parameters

pt1	First point.
pt2	Second point.
pt3	Third point.
epsilon	Value used to compare point.

		double	epsilon = `1E-8`
	)

static

Constructs a circle by 3 tangents on the circle (aka inscribed circle of a triangle).

Z and m values are dropped for the center point. The azimuth always takes the default value.

Parameters

pt1_tg1	First point of the first tangent.
pt2_tg1	Second point of the first tangent.
pt1_tg2	First point of the second tangent.
pt2_tg2	Second point of the second tangent.
pt1_tg3	First point of the third tangent.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::fromCenterDiameter	(	const QgsPoint &	center,
		double	diameter,
		double	azimuth = `0`
	)

static

Constructs a circle by a center point and a diameter.

The center point keeps z and m values from center.

Parameters

center	Center point.
diameter	Diameter of the circle.
azimuth	Azimuth of the circle.

Definition at line 176 of file qgscircle.cpp.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::fromCenterPoint	(	const QgsPoint &	center,
		const QgsPoint &	pt1
	)

static

Constructs a circle by a center point and another point.

The center point keeps z and m values from center. Axes are calculated from the 2D distance between center and pt1. The azimuth is the angle between center and pt1.

Parameters

center	Center point.
pt1	A point on the circle.

Definition at line 181 of file qgscircle.cpp.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::fromExtent	(	const QgsPoint &	pt1,
		const QgsPoint &	pt2
	)

static

Constructs a circle 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

pt1	First corner.
pt2	Second corner.

Definition at line 273 of file qgscircle.cpp.

int QgsCircle::intersections	(	const QgsCircle &	other,
		QgsPoint &	intersection1,
		QgsPoint &	intersection2,
		bool	useZ = `false`
	)		const

Calculates the intersections points between this circle and an other circle.

If found, the intersection points will be stored in intersection1 and intersection2.

By default this method does not consider any z values and instead treats the circles as 2-dimensional. If useZ is set to true, then an intersection will only occur if the z values of both circles are equal. In this case the points returned for intersection1 and intersection2 will contain the z value of the circle intersections.

Returns: number of intersection points found.

Since: QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 239 of file qgscircle.cpp.

QgsCircle QgsCircle::minimalCircleFrom3Points	(	const QgsPoint &	pt1,
		const QgsPoint &	pt2,
		const QgsPoint &	pt3,
		double	epsilon = `1E-8`
	)

static

Constructs the smallest circle from 3 points.

Z and m values are dropped for the center point. The azimuth always takes the default value. If the points are colinear an empty circle is returned.

Parameters

pt1	First point.
pt2	Second point.
pt3	Third point.
epsilon	Value used to compare point.

Definition at line 223 of file qgscircle.cpp.

QVector< QgsPoint > QgsCircle::northQuadrant ( ) const

They are oriented and started from North.

Returns: quadrants defined by four points.

int QgsCircle::outerTangents	(	const QgsCircle &	other,
		QgsPointXY &	line1P1,
		QgsPointXY &	line1P2,
		QgsPointXY &	line2P1,
		QgsPointXY &	line2P2
	)		const

Calculates the outer tangent points between this circle and an other circle.

The outer tangent points correspond to the points at which the two lines which are drawn so that they are tangential to both circles touch the circles.

The first tangent line is described by the points stored in line1P1 and line1P2, and the second line is described by the points stored in line2P1 and line2P2.

Returns the number of tangents (either 0 or 2).

Note that this method is 2D only and does not consider the z-value of the circle.
