Hello, everyone.
This was posted with NNTP, but seems to have dissappeared somehow, so I'm
re-posting with the http interface. My appolgies if it turns up twice.
I'm just getting started with LDraw, and returning to the lego-driven days of
my youth, and I'm starting to find places where the ldraw library needs help.
Expect to get inundated with posts by me soon, but I have to start somewhere,
and this is it for the moment.
The N-Fedge primitives are mostly consistent and documented, but, well, not
quite. The currently existing ones are:
1-4edge.dat 1-8edge.dat 1-16edge.dat
2-4edge.dat
3-4edge.dat 3-8edge.dat 3-16edge.dat
4-4edge.dat
5-8edge.dat
I think we should create a 1-1edge, and a 1-2edge as aliases for 4-4edge and
2-4edge (respectively), so we have all of them available in least terms.
Also, the names aren't quite consistent: 4-4edge should have a name line added:
"0 Circle 1.0". 5-8edge should be renamed from "Edge 0.625" to "Circle 0.625".
The documentation at <http://www.ldraw.org/library/tracker/ref/primref/#curv2d>
should be expanded somewhat:
This suite of primitives are used for edges which comprise
<i>n</i>/<i>f</i>ths of a circle (a whole circle, in the case of
4-4edge). They start at 1 0 0, and continue through 0 1 0. All have
radius 1 and no width.
