flip

The flip macro flips (mirrors) an entire part vertically around either the X-axis or the Y-axis.

It is provided by the flip plugin.

note

Not a core-plugins macro

The flip macro is not provided by the core-plugins, so you need to load the flip plugin explicitly if you want to use it.

Signature

macro('flip', { String axis=x })

Code

({ Point, points, Path, paths, Snippet, snippets, macro, part }) => {

  points.a = new Point(0,0)
  points.b = new Point(90,20)
  paths.a = new Path().move(points.a).line(points.b).setClass('dotted note')
  snippets.a = new Snippet(
    'logo', 
    paths.a.shiftFractionAlong(0.5)
  ).attr('data-scale', 0.2)

Configuration

Property	Default	Type	Description
axis	'x'	The axis to flip around. Either x or y

Notes

Under the hood, this macro will:

• Go through all Points in your Part, and multiply their (X or Y)-coordinate by -1
• Go through all the Paths in your Part, and for each drawing operation will multiply the (X or Y)-coordinate by -1
• Go through all the Snippets in your Part and multiply the (X or Y)-coordinate of the anchor point by -1
• Add a 'flipped` Attribute to Points and Paths to keep track of the number of times they have been flipped (to avoid issues when multiple flips are performed)
