shift((object1,object2,...),line,(newobject1,newobject2))

shift


Moves objects along a reference line.

Function parameters


  • list of objects in brackets, separated by comma
  • reference line
  • (optional) list of new objects in brackets, separated by comma OR name suffix for new objects in double or single quotation marks

    This operator moves the named objects following a vector determined by a line.

    Usage


    If you just want to move objects and don't need to keep the original ones, leave the third parameter blank, e.g.: p1=point(10,10);
    p2=point(50,50);
    curve(p1,p2,0,90)
    l1=line(point(60,10),point(50,20))
    shift((p1,p2,c_p1_p2),l1)

    See example on the right



    If you would like to keep both the original and the moved objects, you have two options:

    1) Name all new objects one by one, in the same order as the original objects, e.g.:

    shift((p1,p2,c_p1_p2),l1,(p3,p4,newcurve))



    2) Create a suffix for new objects that will be automatically added to the names of existing objects, e.g.:

    shift((p1,p2,c_p1_p2),l1,"n")
