Angle

class sknano.core.atoms.mixins.Angle(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: sknano.core.atoms.mixins.AngularTopology

Class representation of bond angle between 3 Atom objects.

Parameters:

• *atoms –

  list of Atoms or an Atoms object.

• size (int) –
• parent (Parent Molecule, if any.) –
• id (int) –
• check_operands (bool, optional) –
• degrees (bool, optional) –

Raises:

• TypeError – if atoms is not a list of Atom objects or an Atoms object.
• ValueError – if len(atoms) != 3.
