Explode Arc (node)

An arc's center, endpoints, and radius.

Category: Data | Add menu: Data > Explode Arc

Note

The input socket is typed any (grey wildcard), not arc-specific - see Explode Segment for why the whole Explode family works this way.

Inputs

• Arc (any): the arc to break into its parts.

Outputs

• Center (point): the arc's center point.
• Start (point): the point where the arc begins.
• End (point): the point where the arc ends.
• Radius (number): the arc's radius, in mm.

What it is for

Takes an arc apart into the numbers and points that define it, so the graph can build something new from them: a circle on the same center, a point at one end, a radius fed into a Math node.

With several arcs wired in, Center, Start and End come out as matching lists, but Radius is only the first arc's, a single number.
