// Module: extrude_from_to()
// Synopsis: Extrudes 2D children between two points in 3D space.
// SynTags: Geom
// Topics: Extrusion, Miscellaneous
// See Also: path_sweep(), path_extrude2d()
// Usage:
//   extrude_from_to(pt1, pt2, [convexity=], [twist=], [scale=], [slices=]) 2D-CHILDREN;
// Description:
//   Extrudes the 2D children linearly between the 3d points pt1 and pt2.  The origin of the 2D children are placed on
//   pt1 and pt2, and oriented perpendicular to the line between the points.  
// Arguments:
//   pt1 = starting point of extrusion.
//   pt2 = ending point of extrusion.
//   ---
//   convexity = max number of times a line could intersect a wall of the 2D shape being extruded.
//   twist = number of degrees to twist the 2D shape over the entire extrusion length.
//   scale = scale multiplier for end of extrusion compared the start.
//   slices = Number of slices along the extrusion to break the extrusion into.  Useful for refining `twist` extrusions.
// Example(FlatSpin,VPD=200,VPT=[0,0,15]):
//   extrude_from_to([0,0,0], [10,20,30], convexity=4, twist=360, scale=3.0, slices=40) {

// Module: path_extrude2d()
// Synopsis: Extrudes 2D children along a 2D path.
// SynTags: Geom
// Topics: Miscellaneous, Extrusion 
// See Also: path_sweep(), path_extrude()
// Usage:
//   path_extrude2d(path, [caps=], [closed=], [s=], [convexity=]) 2D-CHILDREN;
// Description:
//   Extrudes 2D children along the given 2D path, with optional rounded endcaps.
//   It works by constructing straight sections corresponding to each segment of the path and inserting rounded joints at each corner.
//   If the children are symmetric across the Y axis line then you can set caps=true to produce rounded caps on the ends of the profile.
//   If you set caps to true for asymmetric children then incorrect caps will be generated.
// Arguments:
//   path = The 2D path to extrude the geometry along.
//   ---
//   caps = If true, caps each end of the path with a rounded copy of the children.  Children must by symmetric across the Y axis, or results are wrong.  Default: false
//   closed = If true, connect the starting point of the path to the ending point.  Default: false
//   convexity = The max number of times a line could pass though a wall.  Default: 10
//   s = Mask size to use.  Use a number larger than twice your object's largest axis.  If you make this too large, it messes with centering your view.  Default: The length of the diagonal of the path's bounding box.
// Example:
//   path = [
//       each right(50, p=arc(d=100,angle=[90,180])),
//       each left(50, p=arc(d=100,angle=[0,-90])),

//       fwd(2.5) square([5,6],center=true);
//       fwd(6) square([10,5],center=true);

// Module: cylindrical_extrude()
// Synopsis: Extrudes 2D children outwards around a cylinder.
// SynTags: Geom
// Topics: Miscellaneous, Extrusion, Rotation
// See Also: heightfield(), cylindrical_heightfield(), cyl()
// Usage:
//   cylindrical_extrude(ir|id=, or|od=, [size=], [convexity=], [spin=], [orient=]) 2D-CHILDREN;
// Description:
//   Chops the 2D children into rectangles and extrudes each rectangle as a facet around an
//   approximate cylindrical shape.  Uses $fn/$fa/$fs to control the number of facets.
//   By default the calculation assumes that the children occupy in the X direction one revolution of the
//   cylinder of specified radius/diameter and are not more than 1000 units tall (in the Y direction).
//   If the children are in fact much smaller in width then this assumption is inefficient.  If the children
//   are wider then they will be truncated at one revolution.  To address either of these problems you can set
//   the `size` parameter.  Note that the specified height isn't very important: it just needs to be larger than
//   the actual height of the children, which is why it defaults to 1000. If you set `size` to a scalar then
//   that only changes the X value and the Y value remains at the default of 1000.
//   .
//   When performing the wrap, the X=0 line of the children maps to the Y- axis and the facets are centered on the Y- axis.
//   This is not consistent with how cylinder() creates its facets.  If `$fn` is a multiple of 4 then the facets will line
//   up with a cylinder.  Otherwise you must rotate a cylinder by 90 deg in the case of `$fn` even or `90-360/$fn/2` if `$fn` is odd.
// Arguments:
//   ir = The inner radius to extrude from.
//   or = The outer radius to extrude to.
//   ---
//   od = The outer diameter to extrude to.
//   id = The inner diameter to extrude from.
//   size = If a scalar, the width of the 2D children.  If a vector, the [X,Y] size of the 2D children.  Default: [`2*PI*or`,1000]
//   convexity = The max number of times a line could pass though a wall.  Default: 10
//   spin = Amount in degrees to spin around cylindrical axis.  Default: 0
//   orient = The orientation of the cylinder to wrap around, given as a vector.  Default: UP
// Example:  Basic example with defaults.  This will run faster with large facet counts if you set `size=100`

// Module: chain_hull()
// Synopsis: Performs the union of hull operations between consecutive pairs of children.
// SynTags: Geom
// Topics: Miscellaneous
// See Also: hull()
// Usage:
//   chain_hull() CHILDREN;
//
// Description:
//   Performs hull operations between consecutive pairs of children,
//   then unions all of the hull results.  This can be a very slow
//   operation, but it can provide results that are hard to get
//   otherwise.
//
// Side Effects:
//   `$idx` is set to the index value of the first child of each hulling pair, and can be used to modify each child pair individually.
//   `$primary` is set to true when the child is the first in a chain pair.
//
// Example:
//   chain_hull() {
//       cube(5, center=true);
//       translate([30, 0, 0]) sphere(d=15);
//       translate([60, 30, 0]) cylinder(d=10, h=20);
//       translate([60, 60, 0]) cube([10,1,20], center=false);
//   }
// Example: Using `$idx` and `$primary`
//   chain_hull() {
//       zrot(  0) right(100) if ($primary) cube(5+3*$idx,center=true); else sphere(r=10+3*$idx);
//       zrot( 45) right(100) if ($primary) cube(5+3*$idx,center=true); else sphere(r=10+3*$idx);
//       zrot( 90) right(100) if ($primary) cube(5+3*$idx,center=true); else sphere(r=10+3*$idx);
//       zrot(135) right(100) if ($primary) cube(5+3*$idx,center=true); else sphere(r=10+3*$idx);
//       zrot(180) right(100) if ($primary) cube(5+3*$idx,center=true); else sphere(r=10+3*$idx);

// Module: minkowski_difference()
// Synopsis: Removes diff shapes from base shape surface.
// SynTags: Geom
// Topics: Miscellaneous
// See Also: offset3d(), round3d()
// Usage:
//   minkowski_difference() { BASE; DIFF1; DIFF2; ... }
// Description:
//   Takes a 3D base shape and one or more 3D diff shapes, carves out the diff shapes from the
//   surface of the base shape, in a way complementary to how `minkowski()` unions shapes to the
//   surface of its base shape.
// Arguments:
//   planar = If true, performs minkowski difference in 2D.  Default: false (3D)
// Example:
//   minkowski_difference() {

// Arguments:
//   r = Radius to expand object by.  Negative numbers contract the object. 
//   size = Scalar size of a centered cube containing the children.  Default: 1000

// Module: round3d()
// Synopsis: Rounds arbitrary 3d objects.

// Usage:
//   round3d(r) CHILDREN;
//   round3d(or) CHILDREN;
//   round3d(ir) CHILDREN;
//   round3d(or, ir) CHILDREN;
// Description:
//   Rounds arbitrary 3D objects.  Giving `r` rounds all concave and convex corners.  Giving just `ir`
//   rounds just concave corners.  Giving just `or` rounds convex corners.  Giving both `ir` and `or`
//   can let you round to different radii for concave and convex corners.  The 3D object must not have
//   any parts narrower than twice the `or` radius.  Such parts will disappear.   The children must fit
//   inside a cube of the specified size.  This is an *extremely*
//   slow operation.  I cannot emphasize enough just how slow it is.  It uses `minkowski()` multiple times.
//   Use this as a last resort.  This is so slow that no example images will be rendered.
// Arguments:
//   r = Radius to round all concave and convex corners to.
//   or = Radius to round only outside (convex) corners to.  Use instead of `r`.
//   ir = Radius to round only inside (concave) corners to.  Use instead of `r`.
//   size = size of centered cube that contains the children.  Default: 1000
