splinepy.helpme.create.sphere(outer_radius, inner_radius=None, angle=360.0, n_knot_spans=-1, degree=True)[source]#

Creates a volumetric spline describing a sphere with radius R.

Parameters:
  • outer_radius (float) – Outer radius of the sphere

  • inner_radius (float, optional) – Inner radius of the potentially hollow sphere.

  • angle (float) – Rotational angle around x-axis, by default each 360 (describing a complete revolution)

  • n_knot_spans (int) – Number of knot spans

Returns:

sphere – Volumetric NURBS with degrees (1,2,2)

Return type:

NURBS
