Circle

Bases: DrawingObject

A class to create circles in the tikz environment.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
center	Union[Tuple[float, float], Point]	Pair of floats representing the center of the circle	required
radius	float	Length (in cm) of the radius	required
options	str	String containing the drawing options (e.g, "Blue")	''
action	str	The type of TikZ action to use. Default is "draw".	'draw'

center property writable

center: Point

Returns a Point object representing the center of the circle.

east property

east: Point

Returns a Point object representing the east point on the circle.

north property

north: Point

Returns a Point object representing the north point on the circle.

south property

south: Point

Returns a Point object representing the south point on the circle.

west property

west: Point

Returns a Point object representing the west point on the circle.

point_at_arg

point_at_arg(theta: float, radians: bool = False) -> tuple

Returns the point on the circle at angle theta.

Examples

Here we create several circles, making use of the action parameter.

from tikzpy import TikzPicture

tikz = TikzPicture()
tikz.circle((0, 0), 1.25) #action="draw" by default
tikz.line((0, 0), (0, 1.25), options="dashed")
tikz.circle((3, 0), 1, options="thick, fill=red!60", action="filldraw")
tikz.circle((6, 0), 1.25, options="Green!50", action="fill")
tikz.show()

We can also use circles to create the Hawaiian Earing.

from tikzpy import TikzPicture

tikz = TikzPicture()

radius = 5
for i in range(1, 60):
    n = radius / i
    tikz.circle((n, 0), n)
tikz.show()
