class Goulib.geom3d.Point3(*args)[source]

Bases: Goulib.geom3d.Vector3, Goulib.geom.Geometry

A point on a 3D plane. Construct in the obvious way:

>>> p = Point3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0)
>>> p
Point3(1.00, 2.00, 3.00)

Point3 subclasses Vector3, so all of Vector3 operators and methods apply. In particular, subtracting two points gives a vector:

>>> Point3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0) - Point3(1.0, 0.0, -2.0)
Vector3(0.00, 2.00, 5.00)

The following methods are also defined:

intersect(other)
If other is a Sphere, returns True iff the point lies within the sphere.
connect(other)
Returns a LineSegment3 which is the minimum length line segment that can connect the two shapes. other may be a Point3, Line3, Ray3, LineSegment3, Sphere or Plane.
distance(other)
Returns the absolute minimum distance to other. Internally this simply returns the length of the result of connect.

Constructor. :param *args: x,y,z values

connect(other)[source]
Returns:Geometry shortest (Segment2 or Segment3) that connects self to other
__abstractmethods__ = frozenset()
class Goulib.geom3d.Line3(*args)[source]

Bases: Goulib.geom.Geometry

A Line3 is a line on a 3D plane extending to infinity in both directions; a Ray3 has a finite end-point and extends to infinity in a single direction; a LineSegment3 joins two points.

All three classes support the same constructors, operators and methods, but may behave differently when calculating intersections etc.

You may construct a line, ray or line segment using any of:

  • another line, ray or line segment
  • two points
  • a point and a vector
  • a point, a vector and a length

For example:

>>> Line3(Point3(1.0, 1.0, 1.0), Point3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0))
Line3(<1.00, 1.00, 1.00> + u<0.00, 1.00, 2.00>)
>>> Line3(Point3(0.0, 1.0, 1.0), Vector3(1.0, 1.0, 2.0))
Line3(<0.00, 1.00, 1.00> + u<1.00, 1.00, 2.00>)
>>> Ray3(Point3(1.0, 1.0, 1.0), Vector3(1.0, 1.0, 2.0), 1.0)
Ray3(<1.00, 1.00, 1.00> + u<0.41, 0.41, 0.82>)

Internally, lines, rays and line segments store a Point3 p and a Vector3 v. You can also access (but not set) the two endpoints p1 and p2. These may or may not be meaningful for all types of lines.

The following methods are supported by all three classes:

intersect(other)

If other is a Sphere, returns a LineSegment3 which is the intersection of the sphere and line, or None if there is no intersection.

If other is a Plane, returns a Point3 of intersection, or None.

connect(other)
Returns a LineSegment3 which is the minimum length line segment that can connect the two shapes. For two parallel lines, this line segment may be in an arbitrary position. other may be a Point3, Line3, Ray3, LineSegment3, Sphere or Plane.
distance(other)
Returns the absolute minimum distance to other. Internally this simply returns the length of the result of connect.

LineSegment3 also has a length property which is read-only.

Goulib.geom3d.Spherical(r, theta, phi)[source]

Spheres are constructed with a center Point3 and a radius:

>>> s

Sphere(<1.00, 1.00, 1.00>, radius=0.50)

Internally there are two attributes: c, giving the center point and r, giving the radius.

The following methods are supported:

class Goulib.geom3d.Quaternion(w=1, x=0, y=0, z=0)[source]

Bases: object

A quaternion represents a three-dimensional rotation or reflection transformation. They are the preferred way to store and manipulate rotations in 3D applications, as they do not suffer the same numerical degradation that matrices do.

The quaternion constructor initializes to the identity transform:

>>> q = Quaternion()
>>> q
Quaternion(real=1.00, imag=<0.00, 0.00, 0.00>)

Element access

Internally, the quaternion is stored as four attributes: x, y and z forming the imaginary vector, and w the real component.

Constructors

Rotations can be formed using the constructors:

new_identity()
Equivalent to the default constructor.
new_rotate_axis(angle, axis)

Equivalent to the Matrix4 constructor of the same name. angle is specified in radians, axis is an instance of Vector3. It is not necessary to normalize the axis. Example:

>>> q = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))
>>> q
Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<0.71, 0.00, 0.00>)
new_rotate_euler(heading, attitude, bank)

Equivalent to the Matrix4 constructor of the same name. heading is a rotation around the Y axis, attitude around the X axis and bank around the Z axis. All angles are given in radians. Example:

>>> q = Quaternion.new_rotate_euler(math.pi / 2, math.pi / 2, 0)
>>> q
Quaternion(real=0.50, imag=<0.50, 0.50, 0.50>)
new_interpolate(q1, q2, t)

Create a quaternion which gives a (SLERP) interpolated rotation between q1 and q2. q1 and q2 are instances of Quaternion, and t is a value between 0.0 and 1.0. For example:

>>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))
>>> q2 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(0, 1, 0))
>>> for i in range(11):
...     print Quaternion.new_interpolate(q1, q2, i / 10.0)
...
Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<0.71, 0.00, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.75, imag=<0.66, 0.09, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.78, imag=<0.61, 0.17, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.80, imag=<0.55, 0.25, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.81, imag=<0.48, 0.33, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.82, imag=<0.41, 0.41, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.81, imag=<0.33, 0.48, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.80, imag=<0.25, 0.55, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.78, imag=<0.17, 0.61, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.75, imag=<0.09, 0.66, 0.00>)
Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<0.00, 0.71, 0.00>)

Operators

Quaternions may be multiplied to compound rotations. For example, to rotate 90 degrees around the X axis and then 90 degrees around the Y axis:

>>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))
>>> q2 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(0, 1, 0))
>>> q1 * q2
Quaternion(real=0.50, imag=<0.50, 0.50, 0.50>)

Multiplying a quaternion by a vector gives a vector, transformed appropriately:

>>> q = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(0, 1, 0))
>>> q * Vector3(1.0, 0, 0)
Vector3(0.00, 0.00, -1.00)

Similarly, any 3D object can be multiplied (e.g., Point3, Line3, Sphere, etc):

>>> q * Ray3(Point3(1., 1., 1.), Vector3(1., 1., 1.))
Ray3(<1.00, 1.00, -1.00> + u<1.00, 1.00, -1.00>)

As with the matrix classes, the constructors are also available as in-place operators. These are named identity, rotate_euler and rotate_axis. For example:

>>> q1 = Quaternion()
>>> q1.rotate_euler(math.pi / 2, math.pi / 2, 0)
Quaternion(real=0.50, imag=<0.50, 0.50, 0.50>)
>>> q1
Quaternion(real=0.50, imag=<0.50, 0.50, 0.50>)

Quaternions are usually unit length, but you may wish to use sized quaternions. In this case, you can find the magnitude using abs, magnitude and magnitude_squared, as with the vector classes. Example:

>>> q1 = Quaternion()
>>> abs(q1)
1.0
>>> q1.magnitude()
1.0

Similarly, the class implements normalize and normalized in the same way as the vectors.

The following methods do not alter the quaternion:

conjugated()

Returns a quaternion that is the conjugate of the instance. For example:

>>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))
>>> q1.conjugated()
Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<-0.71, -0.00, -0.00>)
>>> q1
Quaternion(real=0.71, imag=<0.71, 0.00, 0.00>)
get_angle_axis()

Returns a tuple (angle, axis), giving the angle to rotate around an axis equivalent to the quaternion. For example:

>>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))
>>> q1.get_angle_axis()
(1.5707963267948966, Vector3(1.00, 0.00, 0.00))
get_matrix()

Returns a Matrix4 implementing the transformation of the quaternion. For example:

>>> q1 = Quaternion.new_rotate_axis(math.pi / 2, Vector3(1, 0, 0))
>>> q1.get_matrix()
Matrix4([    1.00     0.00     0.00     0.00
             0.00     0.00    -1.00     0.00
             0.00     1.00     0.00     0.00
             0.00     0.00     0.00     1.00])
