Struct scad_generator::ScadObject

pub struct ScadObject { /* fields omitted */ }

An scad object which is a single scad element and can have zero or more child objects

How it works

An scad object is a single ScadElement optionally followed by any number of child objects. This represents the following scad code:

translate([1,2,3]) //parent
{
    cube([3,5,1]); //Child
    //...
}

Without using the scad! macro, you would create an scad object by doing the following.

//Create the parent
let mut obj = ScadObject::new(ScadElement::Union);

//add some children
obj.add_child(ScadObject::new(ScadElement::Cube(vec3(1., 1., 1.))));
//...

This would be quite tedious to type each time you want to create a new object which is why the scad! macro exists. This does mean that if you want to add more children to an scad object created by the macro, you can simply use the add_child function on the result of the macro.

Methods

impl ScadObject

fn new(element: ScadElement) -> ScadObject

fn add_child(&mut self, statement: ScadObject)

fn get_code(&self) -> String

Returns the scad code for the object.

If there are no children, only the code for the ScadElement of the object followed by a ; is returned. If children exist, the code for the element is returned first, followed by the code for each child surrounded by {} and indented 1 tab character.

fn is_important(&mut self)

Marks the object as important. This will prepend the object code with an ! which tells scad to only render that object and its children.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ScadObject

fn clone(&self) -> ScadObject

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
