[docs]class Circle(Polygon): """Creates a Circle with a given radius as a special case of a :class:`~psychopy.visual.ShapeStim` Parameters ---------- win : :class:`~psychopy.visual.Window` Window this shape is being drawn to. The stimulus instance will allocate its required resources using that Windows context. In many cases, a stimulus instance cannot be drawn on different windows unless those windows share the same OpenGL context, which permits resources to be shared between them. edges : int Number of edges to use to define the outline of the circle. The greater the number of edges, the 'rounder' the circle will appear. radius : float Initial radius of the circle in `units`. units : str Units to use when drawing. This will affect how parameters and attributes `pos`, `size` and `radius` are interpreted. lineWidth : float Width of the circle's outline. lineColor, fillColor : array_like, str, :class:`~psychopy.colors.Color` or None Color of the circle's outline and fill. If `None`, a fully transparent color is used which makes the fill or outline invisible. lineColorSpace, fillColorSpace : str Colorspace to use for the outline and fill. These change how the values passed to `lineColor` and `fillColor` are interpreted. *Deprecated*. Please use `colorSpace` to set both outline and fill colorspace. These arguments may be removed in a future version. pos : array_like Initial position (`x`, `y`) of the circle on-screen relative to the origin located at the center of the window or buffer in `units` (unless changed by specifying `viewPos`). This can be updated after initialization by setting the `pos` property. The default value is `(0.0, 0.0)` which results in no translation. size : float or array_like Initial scale factor for adjusting the size of the circle. A single value (`float`) will apply uniform scaling, while an array (`sx`, `sy`) will result in anisotropic scaling in the horizontal (`sx`) and vertical (`sy`) direction. Providing negative values to `size` will cause the shape being mirrored. Scaling can be changed by setting the `size` property after initialization. The default value is `1.0` which results in no scaling. ori : float Initial orientation of the circle in degrees about its origin. Positive values will rotate the shape clockwise, while negative values will rotate counterclockwise. The default value for `ori` is 0.0 degrees. opacity : float Opacity of the shape. A value of 1.0 indicates fully opaque and 0.0 is fully transparent (therefore invisible). Values between 1.0 and 0.0 will result in colors being blended with objects in the background. This value affects the fill (`fillColor`) and outline (`lineColor`) colors of the shape. contrast : float Contrast level of the shape (0.0 to 1.0). This value is used to modulate the contrast of colors passed to `lineColor` and `fillColor`. depth : int Depth layer to draw the stimulus when `autoDraw` is enabled. interpolate : bool Enable smoothing (anti-aliasing) when drawing shape outlines. This produces a smoother (less-pixelated) outline of the shape. draggable : bool Can this stimulus be dragged by a mouse click? lineRGB, fillRGB: array_like, :class:`~psychopy.colors.Color` or None *Deprecated*. Please use `lineColor` and `fillColor`. These arguments may be removed in a future version. name : str Optional name of the stimuli for logging. autoLog : bool Enable auto-logging of events associated with this stimuli. Useful for debugging and to track timing when used in conjunction with `autoDraw`. autoDraw : bool Enable auto drawing. When `True`, the stimulus will be drawn every frame without the need to explicitly call the :py:meth:`~psychopy.visual.shape.ShapeStim.draw()` method. color : array_like, str, :class:`~psychopy.colors.Color` or `None` Sets both the initial `lineColor` and `fillColor` of the shape. colorSpace : str Sets the colorspace, changing how values passed to `lineColor` and `fillColor` are interpreted. Attributes ---------- radius : float or int Radius of the shape. Avoid using `size` for adjusting figure dimensions if radius != 0.5 which will result in undefined behavior.
