Hello Everyone , i’m super new to programming, but i could use your help in solving an issue.I have come across a problem where I have to write a code in cpp to draw a circle with nodes at the angle increment of 30. But flexible enough to work if I change my mind to 15 degree increment. The circle is connected to a hollow tube with inner radius. the center lies at the middle of U shape tube and circles are the top end of U.
.Hi,
why are you coding that “by hand” ( copy-pasting each line and do slight modifications)?
You should do it inside a for loop, which will give you a lot more flexibility.
Can you post a drawing of what you want to achieve? and also paste the code here, as text, not as a screenshot.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. Here is the model that needs to be created in C++.

I tried few instances to use loop but was unsuccesful. Thanks again. I appreciate the help.
something like the following code should work.
ofApp.h
#pragma once
#include "ofMain.h"
class CircleNode: public ofNode
{
public:
CircleNode(){}
CircleNode(ofNode& _parent, float _radius):radius(_radius)
{
this->setParent(_parent);
}
// this function overrides ofNode's function and it will apply the proper transformations.
// what ever you draw inside this function is in the node's local coordinate system (its parent is at 0,0)
virtual void customDraw() override
{
ofDrawCircle(0,0, radius);
}
float radius;
};
class CircleWithCircles: public CircleNode{
public:
void setup(float _radius, size_t numChildren, float childrenDistance, float angle)
{
radius = _radius;
for(size_t i = 0; i < numChildren; i++){
circles.emplace_back(CircleNode(*this, _radius));
circles.back().setPosition(0, childrenDistance, 0);
circles.back().rotateAroundDeg(angle * i, {0,0,1}, {0,0,0});
}
}
vector<CircleNode> circles;
};
class ofApp : public ofBaseApp{
public:
void setup();
void draw();
CircleWithCircles circle;
};
ofApp.cpp
#include "ofApp.h"
//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::setup(){
circle.setup(20, 12, 200, 30);
circle.setPosition(ofGetWidth()/2, ofGetHeight()/2, 0);
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::draw(){
ofNoFill();
circle.draw();
for(auto& c: circle.circles)
{
c.draw();
}
}
if you want to move the central circle just call setPosition and all the other circles will move accordingly
BTW, when you paste code here, please select it all and press the </> button that is in the text’s area top bar. This will format it all so it looks like code.
Thanks for the response.
‘ofMain.h’ file , not found is the error i’m encountering at the moment.
Sorry if it was a stupid question
Create a new project with Project Generator and delete everything inside ofApp.h and ofApp.cpp
and copy/paste the code from @roymacdonald.
Not stupid at all. It sometimes happens. As @Dorald says, update or create a new project with Project Generator. That usually fixes this issue.
