xLine(
  @sketch: Sketch,
  length?: number(Length),
  endAbsolute?: number(Length),
  tag?: tag,
): Sketch

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
sketch	Sketch	Which sketch should this path be added to?	Yes
length	number(Length)	How far away along the X axis should this line go? Incompatible with endAbsolute.	No
endAbsolute	number(Length)	Which absolute X value should this line go to? Incompatible with length.	No
tag	tag	Create a new tag which refers to this line.	No

Returns

Sketch - A sketch is a collection of paths.

Examples

exampleSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
  |> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
  |> xLine(length = 15)
  |> angledLine(
    angle = 80,
    length = 15,
  )
  |> line(end = [8, -10])
  |> xLine(length = 10)
  |> angledLine(
    angle = 120,
    length = 30,
  )
  |> xLine(length = -15)
  |> close()
