Radiance Cone.

A cone is a megaphone-shaped object. It is truncated by two planes perpendicular to its axis, and one of its ends may come to a point. It is given as two axis endpoints, and the starting and ending radii:

mod cone id 0 0 8

x0 y0 z0 x1 y1 z1 r0 r1

center_pt_end = None

center_pt_start = None

classmethod from_json(geo_json)

Make radiance material from json {

“type”: “cone”, // Geometry type “modifier”: {} or “void”, “name”: “”, // Geometry Name “center_pt_start”: {“x”: float, “y”: float, “z”: float}, “radius_start”: float, “center_pt_end”: {“x”: float, “y”: float, “z”: float}, “radius_end”: float

}

classmethod from_string(geometry_string, modifier=None)

Create a Radiance material from a string.

If the material has a modifier the modifier material should also be part of the string or should be provided using modifier argument.

radius_end = None

radius_start = None

to_json()

Translate radiance material to json {

“type”: “cone”, // Geometry type “modifier”: {} or “void”, “name”: “”, // Geometry Name “center_pt_start”: {“x”: float, “y”: float, “z”: float}, “radius_start”: float, “center_pt_end”: {“x”: float, “y”: float, “z”: float}, “radius_end”: float
