GEOMETOR
geometor.model
is the foundational library for the GEOMETOR initiative.
At the core of the module is the Model
class which establishes the field
and methods of operation for creating the geometric constructions while maintaining integrity.
The field might be easy to consider as a Cartesian grid. But in reality, it is an ordered set of information and operations. Points are the information. Lines and circles are the operations.
In our system, all geometric elements of the Model
are defined as Sympy Geometry
objects. This means a Point
can be defined as a pair of any algebraic
Sympy Expressions that can be evaluated into a floating point value.
Line
and Circle
are each defined by two points. So each construction
must begin with at least two given points at the start. As lines and circles
are added, intersection points are discovered with previous lines and circles
and added to the model, so they may be used with new lines and circles.
There are three main operations of the Model
:
set_point
construct_line
construct_circle
The major responsibilities of the Model
:
deduplicate
when elements are added to the model, we check to see if they already exist. This is particularly important for intersection points that often coincide with exisitng points.
clean values
discover intersections
save to and load from json
maintain a set of related info for each element:
ancestral relationships
establish labels for elements
classes for styles
All of the plotting functionality has moved to GEOMETOR render. However, there are several report functions in the this module:
report_summary
report_group_by_type
report_sequence

23.324 - First Log - Lots of changes
This log entry marks the commencement of the Geometor.model project. After extensive changes in recent months, the project’s concepts, though not new, are entering a phase of significant development. The primary focus has been on refining the Geometor code, transitioning from the original Geometor Explorer, which encompassed a broad range of functions, to a more segmented approach. This segmentation allows for a clearer division of the project’s key components: modeling, rendering, and analyzing complex geometric constructions.
