pleat(pattern, point, depth, angle, side)
pleat
Creates a pleat on a whole pattern starting from a point on its contour, of the mentioned width. The direction of the fold is determined by angle. Sides can be 1 (single pleat to the left) or 2 (single pleat to the right).
In case you wish to apply pleat function, you need to give a name to your pattern piece.
In this case you should write the name of the pattern, equation sign and then the
We can now create some pleats.
Function parameters
- name of a pattern piece
- name of a point inside the pattern or on its contour
- desired depth of the pleat
- angle at which the fold line of the pleat should cross the pattern piece
- side - 1 stands for single pleat to the left, 2 - single pleat to the right, 3 - box pleat to the left, 4 - box pleat to the right.
Usage
In case you wish to apply pleat function, you need to give a name to your pattern piece.
In this case you should write the name of the pattern, equation sign and then the
pattern
function, or you may hover a pattern piece after it's been created and read the automatically assigned name in the popover. For example:triangle=pattern(name("Triangle"),
trace(p1,p2,p3))
We can now create some pleats.
