Function Documentation

HC_BOOLEAN Compute_Circumsphere ( const char *  segment,
HC_POINT *  center,
float *  radius 
)

Returns points defining a sphere that circumscribes the geometry within a segment.

Parameters:
segment- Segment name to use for the calculation.
center- The center position of a sphere that encompasses the geometry contained within the segment. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
radius- The radius length of the encompassing sphere. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
Returns:
success

DETAILS

The volume for Compute_Circumsphere() is a sphere instead of a cuboid. For more information refer to the discussion for Compute_Circumcuboid() .

HC_BOOLEAN DCompute_Circumsphere ( const char *  segment,
HC_DPOINT *  center,
double *  radius 
)

Similar to Compute_Circumsphere(), but operates on double-precision data.

Parameters:
segment- Segment name to use for the calculation.
center- The center position of a sphere that encompasses the geometry contained within the segment. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
radius- The radius length of the encompassing sphere. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
Returns:
success
HC_BOOLEAN Compute_Circumsphere_By_Key ( HC_KEY  key,
HC_POINT *  center,
float *  radius 
)

Similar to Compute_Circumsphere(), but operates on an object referenced by an HC_KEY.

Parameters:
key- Key of the segment or geometry to be used for the calculation.
center- The center position of a sphere that encompasses the geometry contained within the segment. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
radius- The radius length of the encompassing sphere. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
Returns:
success

Parameters:
key- Key of the segment or geometry to be used for the calculation.
center- The center position of a sphere that encompasses the geometry contained within the segment. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
radius- The radius length of the encompassing sphere. Returned to user. Passed by reference in all languages.
Returns:
success
