### S Bracket Example with Pathbuilder

Source: https://github.com/dinther/pathbuilder/blob/main/README.md

This example demonstrates creating an S bracket using Pathbuilder's command chaining. It defines dimensions and uses commands like m, v, h, V, H, and fillet to construct the shape before extruding it.

```openscad
use <pathbuilder.scad>

//  S bracket

width = 40;
length = 60;
height = 30;
thickness = 5;
inner_radius = 3;

$fn = 64;
linear_extrude(width){
    m(0,0)
    v(thickness)
    h((length - thickness)/2)
    fillet(inner_radius)
    V(height)
    fillet(inner_radius + thickness)
    H(length)
    v(-thickness)
    h(-(length - thickness)/2)
    fillet(inner_radius)
    V(0)
    fillet(inner_radius + thickness)
    H(0);
}
```

### Move to Command (M/m)

Source: https://github.com/dinther/pathbuilder/blob/main/README.md

Sets the starting point of a path. Must be the first command.

```svg
"m x y"
```

```svg
m(x,y)
```

```svg
m([x,y,...])
```

--------------------------------

### Test Pathbuilder Installation

Source: https://github.com/dinther/pathbuilder/wiki/Installation

Use this code in a new OpenSCAD file to verify that Pathbuilder is correctly installed and accessible. This example renders an SVG shape using Pathbuilder's svgShape function.

```openscad
include <pathbuilder.scad>

svgShape("m 0 0chamfer8h20fillet2v20fillet10h20v-10fillet2l35 20fillet2l-35 20fillet2v-10h-40fillet30z");
```

### Full SVG Path to Point List Conversion Example

Source: https://github.com/dinther/pathbuilder/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates a three-step process to convert an SVG path string to a 2D point list using Pathbuilder functions: tokenization, command processing, and post-processing. This example utilizes a swoosh path string.

```openscad
pb_swoosh = "M68.56-4L18.4-25.36Q12.16-28 7.92-28q-4.8 0-6.96 3.36-1.36 2.16-.8 5.48t2.96 7.08q2 3.04 6.56 8-1.6-2.56-2.24-5.28-1.2-5.12 2.16-7.52Q11.2-18 14-18q2.24 0 5.04 .72z";
cmds = pb_tokenizeSvgPath(pb_swoosh);
data = pb_processCommands(cmds);
pts_list = pb_postProcessPathLists(data);
pts = pts_list[0];
polygon(pts);
```

--------------------------------

### Absolute and Relative MoveTo with LineTo in String Format

Source: https://github.com/dinther/pathbuilder/wiki/Move-to

Demonstrates drawing a triangle using both absolute (M) and relative (m) MoveTo commands followed by implicit LineTo (L) and Vertical LineTo (V) commands in string format. The second example shows how subsequent points are relative when 'm' is lowercase.

```javascript
svgShape("M 1,2 L 7,8 V 2");   //  draws a triangle with start x,y at 1,2
```

```javascript
svgShape("m 9,2 6,6 V 2");     //  same triangle as above with start x,y at 9,2
```

### 2D Profile Interpolation and 3D Mesh Generation

Source: https://github.com/dinther/pathbuilder/blob/main/demo/readme.md

This snippet demonstrates how to interpolate between two 2D SVG shapes to create a series of paths, which are then used to generate a 3D mesh. It's useful for creating smooth transitions between different profiles in a 3D model.

```openscad
use <pathbuilder.scad>
use <meshbuilder.scad>
use <pointutils.scad>

$fn = 32;

angle=180;
radius = 30;

//  Building a 2D profile
//  We define a start shape and end shape and use the svgTweenPath.
//  to generate the path definitions in between. This way we can
//  keep a consistent radius in the model.

start_shape = "m0,0v5h27.5fillet3V40fillet8H60v-5h-27.5fillet3V0fillet8H0";
end_shape   = "m0,0v5h27.5fillet3V20fillet8H60v-5h-27.5fillet3V0fillet8H0";

//  This is what the shapes looks like

color("blue") polygon(svgPoints(svgTweenPath(start_shape, end_shape, 0))[0]);
color("red")  polygon(svgPoints(svgTweenPath(start_shape, end_shape, 1))[0]);

//  Building the mesh

//  Now we are going to  manipulate the shape point list
//  many times inside a loop counting from 0 to 1 in small steps
//  You see here several manipulation functions nested.

lp = [for (i=[0:0.002:1]) rotatePoints(translatePoints(svgPoints(svgTweenPath(start_shape, end_shape,i))[0],[radius, 0, 0]),[0,i*-angle,0])];
buildMeshFromPointLayers(lp, true, true, true,true);

//  Multiply the number of paths and points per path
//  to get the total number of vertices for the mesh.
echo(str(len(lp) * len(lp[0]), " vertices used"));

```
