ToString()
duplicate()

Get a copy of this object.

classmethod from_dict(data)[source]

Initialize a DisplaySphere from a dictionary.

Parameters:

data – A dictionary representation of an DisplaySphere object.

move(moving_vec)

Move this geometry along a vector.

Parameters:

moving_vec – A ladybug_geometry Vector with the direction and distance to move the geometry.

reflect(plane)

Reflect this geometry across a plane.

Parameters:

plane – A ladybug_geometry Plane across which the object will be reflected.

rotate(axis, angle, origin)

Rotate this geometry by a certain angle around an axis and origin.

Parameters:

  • axis – A ladybug_geometry Vector3D axis representing the axis of rotation.

  • angle – An angle for rotation in degrees.

  • origin – A ladybug_geometry Point3D for the origin around which the object will be rotated.

rotate_xy(angle, origin)

Rotate this geometry counterclockwise in the world XY plane by an angle.

Parameters:

  • angle – An angle in degrees.

  • origin – A ladybug_geometry Point3D for the origin around which the object will be rotated.

scale(factor, origin=None)

Scale this geometry by a factor from an origin point.

Parameters:

  • factor – A number representing how much the object should be scaled.

  • origin – A ladybug_geometry Point representing the origin from which to scale. If None, it will be scaled from the World origin.

to_dict()[source]

Return DisplaySphere as a dictionary.

property area

Get the surface area of the sphere.

property center

Get a Point3D for the center of the sphere.

property circumference

Get the circumference of the sphere.

property color

Get or set a color for this object.

property diameter

Get the diameter of the sphere.

property display_mode

Get or set text to indicate the display mode.

property geometry

Get a ladybug_geometry object.

property max

Get a Point3D for the maximum of the bounding box around the object.

property min

Get a Point3D for the minimum of the bounding box around the object.

property radius

Get a number for the radius of the sphere.

property user_data

Get or set an optional dictionary for additional meta data for this object.

This will be None until it has been set. All keys and values of this dictionary should be of a standard Python type to ensure correct serialization of the object to/from JSON (eg. str, float, int, list, dict)

property volume

Get the volume of the sphere.
