Methods
OrthExtents
Calculates the extents of a group of objects (selected according to select_addr()) and returns an array: [xmin,xmax],[ymin,ymax].
@extents = $drw->OrthExtents(\%opts);
getExtentsRec
Alias to OrthExtents() which returns a polyline-form array of points (counter clockwise from lower-left) describing a rectangle.
@rec = $drw->getExtentsRec(\%opts);
EntOrthExtents
Gets the orthographic extents of the object at $addr
@extents = $drw->EntOrthExtents($addr);
@orthfunc
List of hash references containing code references to reduce duplication and facilitate natural flow (rather than ifififif statements.)
offset
Intended as any-object offset function (not easy).
$dist is negative to offset outward
$drw->offset($dist);
divide
$drw->divide();
pline_to_ray
Transforms a polyline with a nubbin into a ray (line with direction.)
$line_addr = $drw->pline_to_ray($pline_addr);
trim_both
Trims two lines to their intersection.
$drw->trim_both($addr1, $addr2);
