Construct a sphere from its center point and radius:

exampleSphere =
    Sphere3d.atPoint (Point3d.meters 1 2 1)
        (Length.meters 3)

If you pass a negative radius, the absolute value will be used.

Construct a sphere from its radius and center point. Flipped version of atPoint that may be more useful in some situations like constructing a bunch of spheres of the same radius at different points:

spheres =
    List.map (Sphere3d.withRadius radius) listOfPoints

Construct a sphere at the origin with the given radius.

Attempt to construct a sphere that passes through the four given points. Returns Nothing if four given points are coplanar.

Sphere3d.throughPoints
    (Point3d.meters 1 0 0)
    (Point3d.meters -1 0 0)
    (Point3d.meters 0 1 0)
    (Point3d.meters 0 0 0.5)
--> Just <|
-->     Sphere3d.withRadius (Length.meters 1.25)
-->         (Point3d.meters 0 0 -0.75)


-- Four coplanar points (in the XY plane)
Sphere3d.throughPoints
    (Point3d.meters 1 0 0)
    (Point3d.meters -1 0 0)
    (Point3d.meters 0 1 0)
    (Point3d.meters 0 -1 0)
--> Nothing
