Circle with Center, Radius and Direction

This article is about a GeoGebra tool.

Tool Categories (All tools)


 Following text is about a feature that is supported only in GeoGebra 5.0.

This tool returns different objects, depending on the object chosen as "direction" (line or plane).

Selecting a line, a ray or a segment and a point on the circle, then typing the radius value in the related field of the appearing dialog window, GeoGebra generates a circumference whose axis is directed as the object chosen as "direction" ;

Selecting a plane (xOy plane or any other previously defined plane) and a point on the circle, then typing the radius value in the related field of the appearing dialog window, GeoGebra generates a circumference laying in a plane parallel to the one chosen as "direction", through the given point.

The order of selection of the first two objects is non influential.
