About This File

Apollonius problem : (PPP, LPP, LLP, LLL, CPP, CLP, CLL, CCP, CCL, CCC)

P - point

L - line

C - circle

 

Routine finds all CIRCLES that touches or passes (point) as tangent curves to combination of (C - circle; L - line; P - point)

 

Relevant page on Wikipedia :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_Apollonius

And my video demonstrating my routine :
https://youtu.be/cuo4M9UGZmA

Number of circles demonstrated in video corresponds to Wikipedia table at the end of page...

Regards, Marko Ribar, d.i.a. (architect)

Wow... what a complex code, I can't even begin to analyse. It really works on most cases... might need to include some error-handling functions for some problems that can't be solved. For example, if it's CCL and the geometry looks like a "%", there's technically (at least on my eyes) no possible way to draw a circle tangent to the two circles without crossing the line or tangent to the line.

 

Nonetheless, congrats on this fantastic piece of code. I wouldn't be able to solve one of these unless I pulled many of my hair out XD
