CAD::Drawing CAD::Calc Math::Vec
0.10 First public release 0.11 Minor improvements
Calculates the extents of a group of objects (selected according to select_addr()) and returns an array: [xmin,xmax],[ymin,ymax].
@extents = $drw->OrthExtents(\%opts);
Alias to OrthExtents() which returns a polyline-form array of points (counter clockwise from lower-left) describing a rectangle.
@rec = $drw->getExtentsRec(\%opts);
Gets the orthographic extents of the object at $addr. Returns [\@xpts,\@y_pts] (leaving you to sort through them and find which is min or max.)
@extents = $drw->EntOrthExtents($addr);
List of hash references containing code references to reduce duplication and facilitate natural flow (rather than ifififif statements.)
Intended as any-object offset function (not easy).
$dist is negative to offset outward
$drw->offset($dist);
$drw->divide();
$drw->area($addr);
Transforms a polyline with a nubbin into a ray (line with direction.)
$line_addr = $drw->pline_to_ray($pline_addr);
Trims two lines to their intersection.
$drw->trim_both($addr1, $addr2, $tol);
See CAD::Calc::line_intersection()
Switch between coordinate system representations.
Change the objects coordinates into the object coordinate system.
Both of these are relatively quick. A simple test shows that one point can be taken back and forth at about 2KHz, so don't be afraid to use them.
$drw->to_ocs($addr);
Change the objects coordinates into the world coordinate system.
$drw->to_wcs($addr);
Puts the object in the wcs, zeros all z-coordinates and deletes the normal vector. Note that this is fine for projecting polylines and lines, but may not be what you want if you are trying to make a circle into an ellipse (at least not yet.)
$drw->flatten($addr);
Non-OO internal-use functions.
Returns the x,y, and z axes for the ocs described by @normal. These will have arbitrary lengths.
@local_axes = _ocs_axes(@normal);
Returns the x,y, and z axes for the world coordinate system in terms of the @ocs_axes.
@trs_axes = _wcs_axes(@ocs_axes);
