ToString()

base_attrs_from_dict(_input_dict: Dict[str, Any]) → PhSupportiveDevice

check_dict_type(_input_dict: Dict[str, Any]) → None

Check that the input dict type is correct for the Supportive Device being constructed.

duplicate() → PhSupportiveDevice

classmethod from_dict(_input_dict: Dict[str, Any]) → PhSupportiveDevice

move(moving_vec3D)

Move the device’s elements along a vector.

Parameters:

moving_vec3D – A Vector3D with the direction and distance to move the ray.

reflect(normal_vec3D, origin_pt3D)

Reflected the device’s elements across a plane with the input normal vector and origin_pt3D.

Parameters:

• normal_vec3D – A Vector3D representing the normal vector for the plane across which the line segment will be reflected. THIS VECTOR MUST BE NORMALIZED.

• origin_pt3D – A Point3D representing the origin_pt3D from which to reflect.

rotate(axis_vec3D, angle_degrees, origin_pt3D)

Rotate the device’s elements by a certain angle around an axis_vec3D and origin_pt3D.

Right hand rule applies: If axis_vec3D has a positive orientation, rotation will be clockwise. If axis_vec3D has a negative orientation, rotation will be counterclockwise.

Parameters:

• axis_vec3D – A Vector3D axis_vec3D representing the axis_vec3D of rotation.

• angle_degrees – An angle for rotation in degrees.

• origin_pt3D – A Point3D for the origin_pt3D around which the object will be rotated.

rotate_xy(angle_degrees, origin_pt3D)

Rotate the device’s elements counterclockwise in the XY plane by a certain angle.

Parameters:

• angle_degrees – An angle in degrees.

• origin_pt3D – A Point3D for the origin_pt3D around which the object will be rotated.

scale(scale_factor, origin_pt3D=None)

Scale the device’s elements by a factor from an origin_pt3D point.

Parameters:

• scale_factor – A number representing how much the line segment should be scaled.

• origin_pt3D – A Point3D representing the origin_pt3D from which to scale. If None, it will be scaled from the World origin_pt3D (0, 0, 0).
