shapeO operation

In this topic

    Syntax

    • shapeO (frontWidth, rightWidth, backWidth, leftWidth){ selector operator operations | selector operator operations }

    Parameters

    1. frontWidth—float
      Depth of front wing.
    2. rightWidth—float
      Width of right wing.
    3. leftWidth—float
      Width of left wing.
    4. selector—keyword
      • shape—the setback polygon
      • remainder—selects the remainder of the polygon.
    5. operator—float
      The operator defines how the setback polygons are used to generate successor shapes. This also applies to shapes with more than one faces. Valid operators are:
      • : —each polygon is put into a new shape.
      • =—all polygons corresponding to the selector are combined into one new shape.
    6. operations—float
      A sequence of CGA operations to execute.

    Description

    The shapeO operation selects a number of edges, depending on predefined spatial selectors, and set them back by a user-defined distance.
