Intersection, Union, Subtraction Operations in LUA?

Post by mattd »

Are there libraries to compute geometry operations like intersection, union, and subtraction from a LUA script?

I'd like something that operates like the "Weld Selected Vectors", "Subtract Vectors", and "Keep Overlap of Vectors" buttons in the UI, but operates on Contour objects in LUA.

Matt that stuff is in there.

Different words, different locations, operate a little different than the other software you are used to.

It just takes some learning. The video tutorials help a lot.

There aren't that many direct one-to-one commands in the LUA gadget interface that correspond to the UI especially when dealing with the vector side of things.
