Circle

A circle outline with a chosen center, radius and normal direction, output as a closed point stack. The normal can be typed in the local spherical basis at the center, or wired in as a 3-element array.

Inputs

None.

Parameter ports

Added from the Parameters pane (⊕). While connected, each drives its parameter.

Port	Accepts	Mode	Description
`center` Center	primitive(array) dataset(stack) dataset(surface)	opt-in	center position; overrides the center parameter while connected
`normal` Normal	primitive(array)	opt-in	Normal as a 3-element array, read in the current direction frame; overrides the Normal row while connected
`radius`	primitive(number)	opt-in drives `radius`	Drives the Radius parameter while connected
`resolution`	primitive(number)	opt-in drives `resolution`	Drives the Resolution parameter while connected

Outputs

dataset(stack)

Parameters

The Parameters pane shows only the parameters relevant to the current settings.

Parameter	Kind	Default	Choices / range	Unit	Notes

Radius `radius`	float	`1`		R_sun	⇄ port
Direction frame `direction_frame`	choice	`cartesian`	cartesian \| spherical
Normal `normal`	vector	`(0, 0, 1)`
Normal `normal_sph`	vector	`(1, 0, 0)`
Resolution `resolution`	int	`100`			⇄ port
