## Solids properties
|
||||
**We will analyze which basic properties solids have using `box` solid.**
|
||||
|
||||
Basic properties:
|
||||
*Basic properties:*
|
||||
1. `opacity` - It is set in `float`. It takes on values from 0 to 1, which represent percents of solid opacity. It's initial value is 1.
|
||||
2. `color` - It can be specified as `Int`, `String`, or as three `Ubytes`, which represent color in `rgb`. Elementally, the solid will have `green` color.
|
||||
3. `rotation` - it's the point, around which the solid will be rotated. Initially, the value is `Point3D(0, 0, 0)`
|
||||
4. position, which is given by values `x`, `y`, `z`. Initial values are `x = 0`, `y = 0`, `z = 0`
|
||||
3. `rotation` - it's the point, around which the solid will be rotated. Initially, the value is `Point3D(0, 0, 0)`. Changing `x` coordinate of the point, you make pivot around `x axis`. The same for other coordinates: changing `y` - pivot around `y axis`, changing `z` - pivot around `z axis`.
|
||||
4. position, which is given by values `x`, `y`, `z`. Initial values are `x = 0`, `y = 0`, `z = 0`. The coordinate system is Cartesian. It's elemental position is this - vertical `y` axis and horizontal `Oxz` plane.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's see how properties are set in solids.
|
||||
The `small box` will have elemental values of properties. If you will not set properties, it will have the same `position`, `color`, `rotation`, and `opacity` values.
|
||||
|
||||
***You can see that `box` take four values. Later, we will discuss what they are doing in more detail. Now, it does not really matter.***

###Basic Solids
|
||||
***There is plenty of other properties, especially of those, which you can create by yourself. Here we mention just small part.***
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Solids
|
||||
Now, let's see which solids can be visualized:
|
||||
1) PolyLine
|
||||
2) Box
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
### 1) PolyLine
|
||||
### 2) Box
|
||||
|
||||
First thing which has to be mentioned is that `box` takes four values: `box(x, y, z, name)`
|
||||
* `x` - x-axis length of the `box`
|
||||
* `y` - y-axis length of the `box`
|
||||
* `z` - z-axis length of the `box`
|
||||
|
||||
These values have `Float` type. *`x`, `y`, and `z` are necessary values, which cannot be ignored. You have to set them.*
|
||||
|
||||
* `name` - `box`'es identifier with `String` type. *It's an optional value, but without it you won't be able to control solid.*
|
||||
|
||||
Let's create just usual `box` with equal ribs.
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
box(50, 50, 50, name = "box") {
|
||||
x = 0
|
||||
y = 0
|
||||
z = 0
|
||||
color("pink")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
![](../docs/images/box.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Now, let's make `box` with bigger `y` value.
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
box(10, 25, 10, name = "high_box") {
|
||||
x = 0
|
||||
y = 0
|
||||
z = 0
|
||||
box(10, 25, 10, name = "high box") {
|
||||
color("black")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
As you can see, only rib of `y-axis` differs from other ribs.
|
||||
|
||||
![](../docs/images/high-box.png)
|
||||
|
||||
For final trial, let's create `box` with bigger `x` value.
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
box(65, 40, 40, name = "wide_box") {
|
||||
box(65, 40, 40, name = "wide box") {
|
||||
x = 0
|
||||
y = 0
|
||||
z = 0
|
||||
color("black")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
Predictably, only `x-axis` rib bigger than other ribs.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
3) Sphere
|
||||
### 3) Sphere
|
||||
|
||||
It takes in two values: `radius`, and `name`.
|
||||
Actually, `name` is general value for all solids, so do not wonder, since all solids need their own identifier.
|
||||
|
||||
As for `radius`, it has `Float` type, and, as you can guess, it sets radius of the sphere, which will be created.
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
sphere(50, name = "sphere") {
|
||||
x = 0
|
||||
y = 0
|
||||
z = 0
|
||||
opacity = 0.9
|
||||
color("blue")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
![](../docs/images/sphere.png)
|
||||
4) Hexagon
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
|
||||
### 4) Hexagon
|
||||
|
||||
It is solid which has six edges. It is set by eight values: `node1`,..., `node8`. They all have `Point3D` type, so they are just points, vertices.
|
||||
|
||||
*Six edges are these:*
|
||||
1) Edge with vertices `node1`, `node4`, `node3`, `node2`
|
||||
2) Edge with vertices `node1`, `node2`, `node6`, `node5`
|
||||
3) Edge with vertices `node2`, `node3`, `node7`, `node6`
|
||||
4) Edge with vertices `node4`, `node8`, `node7`, `node3`
|
||||
5) Edge with vertices `node1`, `node5`, `node8`, `node4`
|
||||
6) Edge with vertices `node8`, `node5`, `node6`, `node7`
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
As hexagon takes in specific points, we understand that this solid cannot be moved, it fixed in space, and it can't make pivots.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's make classic parallelepiped.
|
||||
```kotlin

5) Cone
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
### 3) Cone
|
||||
It takes in six values: `bottomRadius`, `height`, `upperRadius`, `startAngle`, `angle`, and `name`.
|
||||
|
||||
Obviously, `bottomRadius` is responsible for radius of a bottom base, and `height` sets height of a cone along the `z-axis`.
|
||||
|
||||
As it takes such values as `upperRadius`, `startAngle`, `angle`, `cone` can build not only usual cones, but also cone segments. Initially, `upperRadius` will have `0.0` value, `startAngle` - `0f`, `angle` - `PI2`, so if you don't set them, you'll get just a simple cone.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting `upperRadius`, you make a frustum cone, since it sets a radius of the upper base of a cone. Set `startAngle`, and `angle` let to cut off segments by planes perpendicular to the base. `startAngle` - an angle, starting with which segment will be left, `angle` - an angle of cone, which will be set from `startAngle`.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's build a classic cone:
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
cone(60, 80, name = "cone") {
|
||||
x = 0
|
||||
y = 0
|
||||
z = 0
|
||||
color("beige")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
![](../docs/images/cone-1.png)
|
||||
![](../docs/images/cone-2.png)
|
||||
6) Cone Surface
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
coneSurface(60, 50, 30, 10, 100, name = "cone_surface") {
|
||||
x = 0
|
||||
y = 0
|
||||
z = 0
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, we have to try to build a frustum cone:
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
cone(60, 80, name = "cone") {
|
||||
color(0u, 40u, 0u)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
![](../docs/images/frustum-cone.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Now, we need to make a try to build a cone segment:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
cone(60, 80, angle = PI, name = "cone") {
|
||||
color(0u, 0u, 200u)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
![](../docs/images/cone-segment-1.png)
|
||||
![](../docs/images/cone-segment-2.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, the segment of frustum cone is left for a try:
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
cone(60, 100, 20, PI*3/4, angle = PI/3, name = "cone") {
|
||||
color(190u, 0u, 0u)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
![](../docs/images/frustum-cone-segment.png)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4) Cone Surface
|
||||
This solid is set by seven values:`bottomOuterRadius`, `bottomInnerRadius`, `height`, `topOuterRadius`, `topInnerRadius`, `startAngle`, and `angle`.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to `height`, `startAngle`, and `angle`, which work as they work in `cone`, there are some new values.
|
||||
`bottomOuterRadius`, and `bottomInnerRadius` set properties of the bottom circle, `topOuterRadius`, `topInnerRadius` - of the upper circle. They have no initial value, so that means they have to be set.
|
||||
|
||||
Generally, `cone`, and `coneSurface` buildings work in the same way, it's possible to make `coneSurface`'s fragments as in `cone`
|
||||
|
||||
Let's build usual cone surface with almost all properties set:
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
coneSurface(60, 50, 30, 10, 100, name = "cone surface") {
|
||||
color("red")
|
||||
rotation = Point3D(2, 50, -9)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

||||

|
||||
![](../docs/images/cone-surface-2.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Now, let's create a cone surface and set all it's properties:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
coneSurface(30, 25, 10, 10, 8,0f, pi*3/4, name = "cone surface") {
|
||||
color("fuchsia")
|
||||
rotation = Point3D(2, 50, -9)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 5) Cylinder
|
||||
|
||||
This solid is set by `radius`, and `height`. As you can see by accepting values, there's no option of building fragments of cylinders.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a demonstration of a cylinder:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
cylinder(40, 100, "cylinder"){
|
||||
rotation = Point3D(40, 0, 0)
|
||||
color("indigo")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
![](../docs/images/cylinder-1.png)
|
||||
![](../docs/images/cylinder-2.png)
|
||||
### 6) Tube
|
||||
|
||||
`tube` takes in `radius`, `height`, `innerRadius`, `startAngle`, `angle`, and `name`. *All values are familiar from `cone`, and `coneSurface` solids.*
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of classic tube:
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
tube(50, 40, 20, name = "usual tube"){
|
||||
opacity = 0.4
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
![](../docs/images/tube.png)
|
||||
|
||||
This is an example of tube fragment:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
tube(50, 40, 20, 0f, PI, name = "fragmented tube"){
|
||||
color("white")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
![](../docs/images/tube-fragment.png)
|
||||
