Module: Draw_Circles

Description:

From a set of input points representing centres of circles and contained in a class HxCluster which also has a data column named "radii" which stores the circles' radii, this module creates a set of lines that represent the circles (which are all parallel to the axial plane) which can be displayed in Amira's viewer.

Illustration of the module's function. The points represent the centres of the circles.

Connections:

Circles

[required]
The input circles come from here, they are defined in a class HxCluster, in which the points are the circles' centres, and the class contains a data column with the name "radii" which contains the circles' radii.

Ports:

Precision

This is the number of sides of the polygon used for approximating the circles. If it is set to 3, the circles will be grossly approximated by triangles.

Action button

Push this button to start the computation.

Commands:

Additional options can be accessed when typing in the console Draw_Circles COMMAND_NAME. Typing the command again usually reverts back to original settings.

`create`

Runs the computation. Returns the name of the output, so it can be used in a script, such as set RESULT [Draw_Circles create].
