Function Details

### circin6 (point1, point2, point3, eps=8.881784197e-16, useZ=True) |
Return the radius and center of the inscribed aka In- circle of a (2- or 3-D) triangle. Arguments: `point1` - First point (`Cartesian`, Vector3d, `Vector3Tuple`, `Vector4Tuple` or `Vector2Tuple` if `useZ=False`). `point2` - Second point (`Cartesian`, Vector3d, `Vector3Tuple`, `Vector4Tuple` or `Vector2Tuple` if `useZ=False`). `point3` - Third point (`Cartesian`, Vector3d, `Vector3Tuple`, `Vector4Tuple` or `Vector2Tuple` if `useZ=False`). `eps` - Tolerance for function pygeodesy.trilaterate3d2 if `useZ is True` otherwise pygeodesy.trilaterate2d2. `useZ` - If `True`, use the Z components, otherwise force `z=0` (`bool`). Returns: Circin6Tuple`(radius, center, deltas, cA, cB, cC)`. The `center` and contact points `cA`, `cB` and `cC`, each an instance of `point1`'s (sub-)class, are co-planar with the three given points. Raises: `ImportError` - Package `numpy` not found, not installed or older than version 1.10 and `useZ is True`. `IntersectionError` - Near-coincident or -colinear points or a trilateration or `numpy` issue. `TypeError` - Invalid `point1`, `point2` or `point3`. See Also: Functions radii11 and circum3, Incircle and Contact Triangle.

### circum3 (point1, point2, point3, circum=True, eps=8.881784197e-16, useZ=True) |
Return the radius and center of the smallest circle through or containing three (2- or 3-D) points. Arguments: `point1` - First point (`Cartesian`, Vector3d, `Vector3Tuple` or `Vector4Tuple`). `point2` - Second point (`Cartesian`, Vector3d, `Vector3Tuple` or `Vector4Tuple`). `point3` - Third point (`Cartesian`, Vector3d, `Vector3Tuple` or `Vector4Tuple`). `circum` - If `True` return the `circumradius` and `circumcenter` always, ignoring the Meeus' Type I case (`bool`). `eps` - Tolerance for function pygeodesy.trilaterate3d2 if `useZ is True` otherwise pygeodesy.trilaterate2d2. `useZ` - If `True`, use the Z components, otherwise force `z=0` (`bool`). Returns: A Circum3Tuple`(radius, center, deltas)`. The `center`, an instance of `point1`'s (sub-)class, is co-planar with the three given points. Raises: `ImportError` - Package `numpy` not found, not installed or older than version 1.10 and `useZ is True`. `IntersectionError` - Near-coincident or -colinear points or a trilateration or `numpy` issue. `TypeError` - Invalid `point1`, `point2` or `point3`.

### circum4_ (*points, **Vector_and_kwds) |
Best-fit a sphere through three or more (3-D) points. Arguments: `points` - The points (each a `Cartesian`, Vector3d, `Vector3Tuple`, or `Vector4Tuple`). `Vector_and_kwds` - Optional class `Vector=None` to return the center and optional, additional `Vector` keyword arguments, otherwise the first `points`' (sub-)class. Returns: Circum4Tuple`(radius, center, rank, residuals)` with `center` an instance of `points[0]`' (sub-)class or `Vector` if specified. Raises: `ImportError` - Package `numpy` not found, not installed or older than version 1.10. `NumPyError` - Some `numpy` issue. `PointsError` - Too few `points`. `TypeError` - One of the `points` is invalid.
