Bezier library for OpenScad

prusaprinters

<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> This library is not user friendly. It a lot easier to use with the SVG to OpenSCAD InkScape extension.</p> <p>See: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2805184">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2805184</a></p> <p>Another useful tool to create incredible models with OpenSCAD. I added a module to create a single polygon from a list of points and bezier handles.</p> <p>The modules provided by the original version (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8483">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8483</a>) are nice when we are trying to control how the polygon will be split into triangles, but they are not useful when trying to create a polygon to use with rotate_extrude.</p> <p>The only modifications I made to the original library is to add the module bezier_polygon to create a single polygon from a list of point, and I fixed a few deprecated usages.</p> <p><strong>[2017-03-13]</strong> I updated the BezPolygon module. I added a boolean parameter to show the points and bezier handles. Those are quite useful when drawing a complex polygon manually, or when editing one. This feature is not intended to be used for render.</p> <p><strong>[2017-03-19]</strong> I changed the "drawHandle" parameter (boolean) for "handleOpacity" (value from 0 to 1, default 0). I found it more useful that way.</p> <p><strong>[2017-03-24]</strong> Added BezPolygonCoordinates function which returns an array of coordinates that can be used to create a polygon. I added this function because I could not find a way to send a polygon as a parameter to a module or another function. Polygons can't be stored in a variable, but an array of coordinates can.</p> <p>NOTE: I just discover the children() function which does exactly what I wanted, thanks to Kintel (#openscad on irc.freenode.net). I don't need BezPolygonCoordinates anymore, but I will leave it there because it may become useful at some point.</p> <p><strong>[2018-02-25]</strong> Uploaded v2, with fixed module names and improved comments</p> <p><strong>[2019-07-20]</strong> Added bezier_stroke</p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <ol> <li>Download bezier_v2.scad, put it in the same folder as your .scad file.</li> <li>Import the bezier library with include <bezier_v2.scad></bezier_v2.scad></li> <li>Create your polygon using bezier_polygon</li> <li>Extrude the polygon the same way you would do with a circle or a square.</li> </ol> <p>Look at demo_v2.scad for a simple example.</p> Category: Other
