Edge functions for a parallelogram?

[lumico]

Hi,

Is there any way to provide functions describing the edges of a parallelogram? I want to use a parallelogram so that I can set the location (in y dimension) of the input and output, but I also need to be able to taper one of the vertical edges. Thanks for any help!

Dear lumico,

A paralellogram function as you describe can be defined along these lines:

def paralellogram(x=10, y=20, dy=None, y2=None):
    if y2 is None:
        y2 = y
    if dy is None:
        dy = 0.5 * (y - y2)
    return [(0, 0), (x, dy), (x, y2+dy), (0, y)]
    
nd.Polygon(points=paralellogram(y2=2), layer=1).put()
nd.Polygon(points=paralellogram(dy=1, y2=5), layer=1).put(15)

nd.export_png()
