|
Extend the current sketch with a new straight line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
line(sketch: Sketch, end_absolute?: [number], end?: [number], tag?: TagDeclarator) -> Sketch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Arguments
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|
|
|----------|------|-------------|----------|
|
|
| `sketch` | [`Sketch`](/docs/kcl/types/Sketch) | Which sketch should this path be added to? | Yes |
|
|
| `end_absolute` | `[number]` | Which absolute point should this line go to? Incompatible with `end`. | No |
|
|
| `end` | `[number]` | How far away (along the X and Y axes) should this line go? Incompatible with `endAbsolute`. | No |
|
|
| `tag` | [`TagDeclarator`](/docs/kcl/types#tag-declaration) | Create a new tag which refers to this line | No |
|
|
|
|
### Returns
|
|
|
|
[`Sketch`](/docs/kcl/types/Sketch) - A sketch is a collection of paths.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
triangle = startSketchOn("XZ")
|
|
|> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
|
|
// The 'end' argument means it ends at exactly [10, 0].
|
|
// This is an absolute measurement, it is NOT relative to
|
|
// the start of the sketch.
|
|
|> line(endAbsolute = [10, 0])
|
|
|> line(endAbsolute = [0, 10])
|
|
|> line(endAbsolute = [-10, 0], tag = $thirdLineOfTriangle)
|
|
|> close()
|
|
|> extrude(length = 5)
|
|
|
|
box = startSketchOn("XZ")
|
|
|> startProfileAt([10, 10], %)
|
|
// The 'to' argument means move the pen this much.
|
|
// So, [10, 0] is a relative distance away from the current point.
|
|
|> line(end = [10, 0])
|
|
|> line(end = [0, 10])
|
|
|> line(end = [-10, 0], tag = $thirdLineOfBox)
|
|
|> close()
|
|
|> extrude(length = 5)
|
|
```
