Examples

w = 15
cube = startSketchAt([0, 0])
  |> line([w, 0], %, $line1)
  |> line([0, w], %, $line2)

  |> line([0, -w], %, $line4)
  |> close(%)
  |> extrude(5, %)

fn cylinder = (radius, tag) => {
  return startSketchAt([0, 0])
  |> circle({
       radius: radius,
       center: segStart(tag)
     }, %)
  |> extrude(radius, %)
}
