pleat

The pleat macro is used to mark a pleat on a pattern. It draws the appropriate lines perpendicular to the line going from from to to. The pleat macro follows the convention of paths being counter-clockwise to determine what is the inside or outside of the part.

It is provided by plugin-annotations, which is part of core-plugins (so it is available by default).

Signature

macro('pleat', {
  String id = 'pleat',
  Point from,
  Point to,
  Number margin = 35,
  Boolean reverse = false,
  Boolean force = false,
  Object calsses = {
    arrow: 'note',
    from: 'note',
    to: 'note dashed',
  },
    
})
