sewTogether

The sewTogether macro is used to mark where two parts of the same part need to be sewn together. This happens when you want to construct a cone for instance.

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

Signature

macro('sewTogether', {
  String id = 'sewtogether',
  Point from,
  Point to,
  Point middle = null,
  Boolean hinge = false,
  String prefix = 'sewtogether',
  Boolean force = false,
})

Code

({ Point, points, Path, paths, macro, part }) => {
  points.seamTL = new Point(0,0)
  points.seamM = new Point(30,-10)
  points.seamTR = new Point(60,0)

  paths.seam = new Path()
    .move(points.seamTL)
    .line(points.seamM)
    .line(points.seamTR)
    .attr('class', 'fabric')

  points.from = new Point(45,-5)
  points.to = new Point(15,-5)
  points.middle = points.seamM.copy()

  macro('sewTogether', {
    from: points.from,
    to: points.to,
    middle: points.middle,
    hinge: true,
  })

  return part
}

An example of the sewtogether macro

Configuration

Property	Default	Type	Description
id	sewtogether	string	The ID of this macro instance
from		Point	One side of what needs to be sewn together
to		Point	The other side of what needs to be sewn together
middle	null	Point	The middle point (when ommitted, it will be halfway between from and to)
prefix	'sewtogether'	String	The prefix to be used for creating all the points and paths
hinge	false	Boolean	Draws the hinge line
force	false	boolean	Set this to true to display the macro output even when complete is false

Notes

This macro takes the complete setting into account and won't output anything when both complete and force are false.

This macro is aware of the sa setting. Normally it draws the hinge line on the inside of the part (following the counter-clockwise standard). When the sa is provided it draws the hinge line on the outside, up to the sa line.
