VertexLoop
A sequence of vertices forming an open or closed loop
Provides utilities for geometric operations like centroid, area, and bounds. Can be subclassed for specific geometric primitives.
Constructor
VertexLoop(vertices: Points2D, closed: bool = True)
Initialize a vertex loop
Parameters
-
vertices - List of (x, y) tuples
-
closed - Whether the loop is closed (connects last to first)
Methods
area
area()
Calculate the signed area of the loop
bounds
bounds()
Calculate bounding box (min_x, min_y, max_x, max_y)
centroid
centroid()
Calculate the centroid (geometric center) of the vertices
is_clockwise
is_clockwise()
Check if the loop has clockwise winding (negative area)
reverse
reverse()
Return a new VertexLoop with reversed vertex order
rotate
rotate(
angle_degrees: float,
center: Point2D | None = None
) -> VertexLoop
Rotate all vertices by angle_degrees around center (default: origin). Returns self for chaining.
scale
scale(sx: float, sy: float | None = None) -> VertexLoop
Scale all vertices by (sx, sy). If sy is None, uses sx for both axes. Returns self for chaining.
translate
translate(dx: float, dy: float) -> VertexLoop
Translate all vertices by (dx, dy). Returns self for chaining.
Properties
closed- Whether this loop is closed
vertices- Get vertices as list of tuples
