tidy3d.components.geometry.base.SimplePlaneIntersection#

class SimplePlaneIntersection[source]#

Bases: Geometry, ABC

A geometry where intersections with an axis aligned plane may be computed efficiently.

Methods

intersections_tilted_plane(normal, origin, to_2D)

Return a list of shapely geometries at the plane specified by normal and origin.
intersections_tilted_plane(normal, origin, to_2D, cleanup=True, quad_segs=None)[source]#

Return a list of shapely geometries at the plane specified by normal and origin. Checks special cases before relying on the complete computation.

Parameters:

  • normal (Coordinate) – Vector defining the normal direction to the plane.

  • origin (Coordinate) – Vector defining the plane origin.

  • to_2D (MatrixReal4x4) – Transformation matrix to apply to resulting shapes.

  • cleanup (bool = True) – If True, removes extremely small features from each polygon’s boundary.

  • quad_segs (Optional[int] = None) – Number of segments used to discretize circular shapes. If None, uses high-quality visualization settings.

Returns:

List of 2D shapes that intersect plane. For more details refer to Shapely’s Documentation.

Return type:

list[shapely.geometry.base.BaseGeometry]
