create_ellipse#

Modeler2D.create_ellipse(origin, major_radius, ratio, is_covered=True, name=None, material=None, non_model=False, segments=0, **kwargs)[source]#

Create an ellipse.

Parameters:

originlist of float: Center Position of the ellipse
major_radiusflost: Length of the major axis of the ellipse
ratiofloat: Ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the ellipse
is_coveredbool: Specify whether the ellipse is a sheet (covered) or a line object
namestr, default=None: Name of the object. The default is None. If None , a unique name NewObject_xxxxxx will be assigned)
materialstr, default=None: Name of the material. The default is None. If None, the default material is assigned.
non_modelbool, optional: Whether to create the object as a non-model. The default is False, in which case the object is created as a model.
segmentsint, optional: Number of segments to apply to create the segmented geometry. The default is 0.
**kwargsoptional: Additional keyword arguments to pass to set properties when creating the primitive.
