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).

int  precision = 17,
const QString &  ns = "gml",
QgsAbstractGeometry::AxisOrder  axisOrder = QgsAbstractGeometry::AxisOrder::XY 
) const

) const

Returns a GML3 representation of the geometry.

From the GML3 description: A Circle is an arc whose ends coincide to form a simple closed loop. The three control points shall be distinct non-co-linear points for the circle to be unambiguously defined. The arc is simply extended past the third control point until the first control point is encountered.

Coordinates are taken from quadrant North, East and South.

◆ from3TangentsMulti()

QVector< QgsCircle > QgsCircle::from3TangentsMulti ( const QgsPoint pt1_tg1,
const QgsPoint pt2_tg1,
const QgsPoint pt1_tg2,
const QgsPoint pt2_tg2,
const QgsPoint pt1_tg3,
const QgsPoint pt2_tg3,
double  epsilon = 1E-8,
const QgsPoint pos = QgsPoint() 
)
static

Returns an array of circle constructed by 3 tangents on the circle (aka inscribed circle of a triangle).

The vector can contain 0, 1 or 2 circles:

  • 0: Impossible to construct a circle from 3 tangents (three parallel tangents)
  • 1: The three tangents make a triangle or when two tangents are parallel there are two possible circles (see examples). If pos is not an empty point, we use its coordinates to determine which circle will be returned. More precisely the circle that will be returned will be the one whose center is on the same side as pos relative to the third tangent.
  • 2: Returns both solutions when two tangents are parallel (this implies that pos is an empty point).

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

Parameters
pt1_tg1First point of the first tangent.
pt2_tg1Second point of the first tangent.
pt1_tg2First point of the second tangent.
pt2_tg2Second point of the second tangent.
pt1_tg3First point of the third tangent.
pt2_tg3Second point of the third tangent.
epsilonValue used to compare point.
pos(optional) Point to determine which circle use in case of multi return.

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

The inner tangent points correspond to the points at which the two lines which are drawn so that they are tangential to both circles but on different sides, touching the circles and crossing each other.

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.

◆ intersections()

int QgsCircle::intersections ( const QgsCircle other,

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.
