## Detailed Description

The QGeoCircle class defines a circular geographic area.

The circle is defined in terms of a QGeoCoordinate which specifies the center of the circle and a qreal which specifies the radius of the circle in meters.

The circle is considered invalid if the center coordinate is invalid or if the radius is less than zero.

This class is a Q_GADGET since Qt 5.5. It can be directly used from C++ and QML.

## Property Documentation

### center : QGeoCoordinate

This property holds this property holds the center coordinate for the geo circle.

The circle is considered invalid if this property contains an invalid coordinate.

A default constructed QGeoCircle uses an invalid QGeoCoordinate as center.

While this property is introduced in Qt 5.5, the related accessor functions exist since the first version of this class.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.5.

Access functions:

QGeoCoordinate | center() const
void | setCenter(const QGeoCoordinate & center)

### radius : qreal

This property holds this property holds the circle radius in meters.

The circle is considered invalid if this property is negative.

By default, the radius is initialized with `-1`.

While this property is introduced in Qt 5.5, the related accessor functions exist since the first version of this class.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.5.

Access functions:

qreal | radius() const
void | setRadius(qreal radius)

## Member Function Documentation

### QGeoCircle::QGeoCircle()

Constructs a new, invalid geo circle.

### QGeoCircle::QGeoCircle(const QGeoCoordinate & center, qreal radius = -1.0)

Constructs a new geo circle centered at center and with a radius of radius meters.

### QGeoCircle::QGeoCircle(const QGeoCircle & other)

Constructs a new geo circle from the contents of other.

### QGeoCircle::QGeoCircle(const QGeoShape & other)

Constructs a new geo circle from the contents of other.

### QGeoCircle::~QGeoCircle()

Destroys this geo circle.

### QString QGeoCircle::toString() const

Returns the geo circle properties as a string.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.

### void QGeoCircle::translate(double degreesLatitude, double degreesLongitude)

Translates this geo circle by degreesLatitude northwards and degreesLongitude eastwards.

Negative values of degreesLatitude and degreesLongitude correspond to southward and westward translation respectively.

### QGeoCircle QGeoCircle::translated(double degreesLatitude, double degreesLongitude) const

Returns a copy of this geo circle translated by degreesLatitude northwards and degreesLongitude eastwards.

Negative values of degreesLatitude and degreesLongitude correspond to southward and westward translation respectively.

See also translate().

### bool QGeoCircle::operator!=(const QGeoCircle & other) const

Returns whether this geo circle is not equal to other.

### QGeoCircle & QGeoCircle::operator=(const QGeoCircle & other)

Assigns other to this geo circle and returns a reference to this geo circle.

### bool QGeoCircle::operator==(const QGeoCircle & other) const

Returns whether this geo circle is equal to other.
