Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Geom_Ellipse() [1/2]

Geom_Ellipse::Geom_Ellipse ( const gp_Elips E)

Constructs an ellipse by conversion of the gp_Elips ellipse E.

◆ Geom_Ellipse() [2/2]

Geom_Ellipse::Geom_Ellipse ( const gp_Ax2 A2,
const Standard_Real  MajorRadius,
const Standard_Real  MinorRadius 
)

Constructs an ellipse defined by its major and minor radii, MajorRadius and MinorRadius, where A2 locates the ellipse and defines its orientation in 3D space such that:

  • the center of the ellipse is the origin of A2,
  • the "X Direction" of A2 defines the major axis of the ellipse, i.e. the major radius MajorRadius is measured along this axis,
  • the "Y Direction" of A2 defines the minor axis of the ellipse, i.e. the minor radius MinorRadius is measured along this axis,
  • A2 is the local coordinate system of the ellipse. Exceptions Standard_ConstructionError if:
  • MajorRadius is less than MinorRadius, or
  • MinorRadius is less than 0. Warning The Geom package does not prevent the construction of an ellipse where MajorRadius and MinorRadius are equal.
