This is mostly for Tore, but I'll make it public in case anyone wants to
agree/disagree.
First: thank you for version 0.09. That was a very fast update!
The following list of suggestions is in order (more-or-less), with the
more important suggestions first.
Suggestion 1: POLYLINE statement
One particularly tedious aspect of writing LDraw parts is writing
polylines -- these have to be written as a series of line statements, so
every point has to be written twice.
What would be great is if LDScript had a polyline command. This command
would accept any number of points, and generate line statements
connecting the points. This would be subject to normal ECHOing and
MIRRORing, of course.
Suggestion 2: Cross-lines in ECHOs
One thing ECHO does not generate is a set of lines connecting the
orginal points to their echoed complement. This would be a very useful
feature.
Suggestion 3: Echo POINTS
An alternate way of generating cross-lines in an ECHO would be to have a
POINT command. This command would only be allowed when echoing was
active. It would have two parameters, a color and a point. It would
generate the line going between the point and it echo-complement.
Suggestion 4: Vector Addition
I'd like to be able to write:
p0 = 10 20 30
p1 = 100 200 300
p2 = p0+p1
and have p2 set to <110, 220, 330>

| (...) It depends on how you look at it. :) (...) I have had plans of making a variant of POLYLINE, namely LINE, with a starting P and an ending P Example: LINE [<colour>] P5 P8 gives: 2 24 X5 Y5 Z5 X6 Y6 Z6 2 24 X6 Y6 Z6 X7 Y7 Z7 2 24 X7 Y7 Z7 X8 (...) (26 years ago, 3-Dec-98, to lugnet.cad)
