Class Detail
JXG.Circle(board, method, par1, par2, attributes)
A circle consists of all points with a given distance from one point. This point is called center, the distance is called radius. A circle can be constructed by providing a center and a point on the circle or a center and a radius (given as a number, function, line, or circle).
Parameters:
{JXG.Board} board
The board the new circle is drawn on.


{String} method
Can be
  • 'twoPoints' which means the circle is defined by its center and a point on the circle.
  • 'pointRadius' which means the circle is defined by its center and its radius in user units
  • 'pointLine' which means the circle is defined by its center and its radius given by the distance from the startpoint and the endpoint of the line
  • 'pointCircle' which means the circle is defined by its center and its radius given by the radius of another circle
The parameters p1, p2 and radius must be set according to this method parameter.


{JXG.Point} par1
center of the circle.


{JXG.Point|JXG.Line|JXG.Circle} par2
Can be
  • a point on the circle if method is 'twoPoints'
  • a line if the method is 'pointLine'
  • a circle if the method is 'pointCircle'


{Object} attributes

JXG.Board#generateName
Field Detail
{JXG.Point} center
The circles center. Do not set this parameter directly as it will break JSXGraph's update system.
{JXG.Circle} circle

See:
JXG.Circle#method
Default Value:
null
{JXG.Line} line
Line defining the radius of the circle given by the distance from the startpoint and the endpoint of the line only set if method equals 'pointLine'. Do not set this parameter directly as it will break JSXGraph's update system.
See:
JXG.Circle#method
Default Value:
null
{String} method
Stores the given method. Can be
See:
JXG.Circle#center
JXG.Circle#point2
JXG.Circle#radius
JXG.Circle#line
JXG.Circle#circle
{JXG.Point} point2
Point on the circle only set if method equals 'twoPoints'. Do not set this parameter directly as it will break JSXGraph's update system.
See:
JXG.Circle#method
{Number} radius
Radius of the circle only set if method equals 'pointRadius'
See:
