rotate((object1,object2,...),point,angle,(newobject1,newobject2))
rotate
Rotates objects around a given point at a given angle. This operator comes very handle for darts manipulation, draping, etc.
list of objects in brackets, separated by comma point angle in degrees (optional) list of new objects in brackets, separated by comma OR name suffix for new objects in double or single quotation marks
If you just want to rotate objects and don't need to keep the original ones, leave the third parameter blank, e.g.:
See example on the right
If you would like to keep both the original and the rotated objects, you have two options:
1) Name all new objects one by one, in the same order as the original objects, e.g.:
2) Create a suffix for new objects that will be automatically added to the names of existing objects, e.g.:
Function parameters
Usage
If you just want to rotate 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)rotate((c_p1_p2),p2,10)See example on the right
If you would like to keep both the original and the rotated objects, you have two options:
1) Name all new objects one by one, in the same order as the original objects, e.g.:
rotate((p1,p2,c_p1_p2),p2,10,(p3,p4,newcurve))2) Create a suffix for new objects that will be automatically added to the names of existing objects, e.g.:
rotate((p1,p2,c_p1_p2),p2,10,"n")
