CIRCLE¶
Type: Basic DXF R12 entity.
A simple circle.
-
DXFEngine.circle(radius=1.0, center=(0., 0.), **kwargs)¶ Parameters: - radius (float) – circle radius
- center – center point (xy- or xyz-tuple), z-axis is 0 by default
Common Keyword Arguments for all Basic DXF R12 Entities¶
| keyword | description |
|---|---|
| layer | Layer name as string |
| linetype | Linetype name as string, if not defined = BYLAYER |
| color | as integer in range [1..255], 0 = BYBLOCK, 256 = BYLAYER |
| thickness | Thickness as float |
| paper_space | 0 = entity is in model_space, 1 = entity is in paper_space |
| extrusion_direction | 3D Point as tuple(x, y, z) if extrusion direction is not parallel to the World Z axis |
Attribs of DXF entities can be changed by the index operator:
from dxfwrite import DXFEngine as dxf
drawing = dxf.drawing('drawing.dxf')
circle = dxf.circle(2.0, (1.0, 1.0))
circle['layer'] = 'points'
circle['color'] = 7
circle['center'] = (2, 3, 7) # int or float
circle['radius'] = 3.5
drawing.add(circle)
drawing.save()
