class honeybee_plus.radiance.geometry.cylinder.Cylinder(name, center_pt_start=None, center_pt_end=None, radius=None, modifier=None)

Bases: honeybee_plus.radiance.geometry.geometrybase.RadianceGeometry

Radiance Cylinder.

A cylinder is like a cone, but its starting and ending radii are equal.

mod cylinder id 0 0 7

x0 y0 z0 x1 y1 z1 rad

center_pt_end = None

center_pt_start = None

classmethod from_json(geo_json)

Make radiance material from json {

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

}

classmethod from_string(geometry_string, modifier=None)

Create a Radiance geometry from a string.

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

radius = None

to_json()

Translate radiance material to json {

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