pcircle

Annotation.pcircle(xcentr='', ycentr='', xlrad='', **kwargs)

Creates an annotation circle (GUI).

Mechanical APDL Command: /PCIRCLE

Parameters:

xcentrstr

Circle X center location (-1.0 < X < 2.0).

ycentrstr

Circle Y center location (-1.0 < Y < 1.0).

xlradstr

Circle radius length.

Notes

Creates an annotation circle to be written directly onto the display at a specified location. This is a command generated by the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and appears in the log file ( Jobname.LOG ) if annotation is used.

This command is not intended to be typed in directly in a Mechanical APDL session (although it can be included in an input file for batch input or for use with the input command).

All circles are shown on subsequent displays unless the annotation is turned off or deleted. Issue lspec and slashpspec to set the attributes of the circle.

This command is valid in any processor.
