__init__(self, radius, endPt1=None, endPt2=None, segEndPt1=None, segEndPt2=None)
(Constructor)

 

Initialises capsule with center-end-point coordinates and radius.

Parameters:
  • radius (float) - Radius of capsule.
  • endPt1 (sequence of 3 floats) - Coordinate of one end ("apex" of hemisphere).
  • endPt2 (sequence of 3 floats) - Center coordinate of other end ("apex" of hemisphere).
  • segEndPt1 (sequence of 3 floats) - Coordinate of one end ("apex" of hemisphere).
  • segEndPt2 (sequence of 3 floats) - Center coordinate of other end ("apex" of hemisphere).
Overrides: object.__init__

getSegmentEndPt1(self)

getCenter(self)

 

Returns the coordinate of the center of this capsule.

Returns:
Center coordinate of this capsule.

getSegmentDirection(self)

 

Returns the direction vector of the central axis.

Returns:
Direction of longitudinal axis.

getLength(self)

 

Returns the length of this capsule.

Returns: float
Distance between hemi-sphere apexes.

getSegmentLength(self)

 

Returns the segment-length of this capsule.

Returns: float
minimum distance between end-points of cylinder.
