Expand description
TangentChain: a tangent chain of edges — edges running on into one another
between faces tangent across every vertex of it, as one smooth edge —
found from any edge of it (tangent_chain), and the Links it is
made of: each edge the way the chain runs along it, with the faces
either side.
Structs§
- Link
- One edge of a chain, as the chain runs along it: along the edge’s own
direction,
forward, or against it; with the faces on its left and right as it runs (seen from outside the solid). - Tangent
Chain - The edges blended as one: a tangent chain (see the module docs), in the
order it runs, around to the first again if
closed.
Functions§
- tangent_
chain - The tangent chain of
edge(see the module docs), running the way the edge does. - vanishes_
at - Whether
facescould meet tangentially atvertex, their normals there parallel: where the edge between them vanishes, the corner between the faces opening out flat — two equal pipes joined, where they touch. Its chain ends there, and a blend of it narrows to nothing.
