Description:
|
Creates a linear pattern in one, two, or three dimensions based on the number of input arguments.
|
|
|
xvec,
yvec and
zvec specify the pattern directions (these do not have to be in the coordinate directions or orthogonal.)
|
|
|
xnum,
ynum and
znum specify the number of repetitions along
xvec,
yvec and
zvec respectively.

Example:
|
; pattern:linear
|
|
; create a sphere at the origin
|
|
(define s (solid:sphere (position 0 0 0)10))
|
|
;; s
|
|
; define the pattern in three dimensions with 3
|
|
; repetitions along each axis
|
|
(define p (pattern:linear (gvector 30 10 0)
|
|
|
3(gvector 0 30 0)3(gvector 0 0 30)3))
|
|
;; p
|
|
; create an entity using sphere in the pattern
|
|
(define spherepat (entity:pattern s p))
|
|
;; spherepat
|
|
(entity:check spherepat)
