### Mirror an ARC and apply upright() to fix extrusion vector

Source: https://ezdxf.mozman.at/docs/upright.html

Demonstrates the effect of the upright() function on a mirrored ARC entity. The example creates an ARC, mirrors it to get an inverted extrusion vector, then applies upright() and shows that start and end points are swapped. The code is split into two blocks: the first creates the mirrored ARC, the second applies upright() and verifies the result.

```python
import ezdxf
from ezdxf.upright import upright
from ezdxf.math import Matrix44

doc = ezdxf.new()
msp = doc.modelspace()

arc = msp.add_arc(
    (5, 0),
    radius=5,
    start_angle=-90,
    end_angle=90,
    dxfattribs={"color": ezdxf.const.RED},
)
# draw lines to the start- and end point of the ARC
msp.add_line((0, 0), arc.start_point, dxfattribs={"color": ezdxf.const.GREEN})
msp.add_line((0, 0), arc.end_point, dxfattribs={"color": ezdxf.const.BLUE})

# copy arc
mirrored_arc = arc.copy()
msp.add_entity(mirrored_arc)

# mirror copy
mirrored_arc.transform(Matrix44.scale(-1, 1, 1))

# This creates an inverted extrusion vector:
assert mirrored_arc.dxf.extrusion.isclose((0, 0, -1))

# draw lines to the start- and end point of the mirrored ARC
msp.add_line((0, 0), mirrored_arc.start_point, dxfattribs={"color": ezdxf.const.GREEN})
msp.add_line((0, 0), mirrored_arc.end_point, dxfattribs={"color": ezdxf.const.BLUE})

```

```python
# This creates an inverted extrusion vector:
assert mirrored_arc.dxf.extrusion.isclose((0, 0, -1))

start_point_inv = mirrored_arc.start_point
end_point_inv = mirrored_arc.end_point

upright(mirrored_arc)
# OCS is aligned with WCS:
assert mirrored_arc.dxf.extrusion.isclose((0, 0, 1))

# start- and end points are swapped after applying upright()
assert mirrored_arc.start_point.isclose(end_point_inv)
assert mirrored_arc.end_point.isclose(start_point_inv)

# draw lines to the start- and end point of the mirrored ARC
msp.add_line((0, 0), mirrored_arc.start_point, dxfattribs={"color": ezdxf.const.GREEN})
msp.add_line((0, 0), mirrored_arc.end_point, dxfattribs={"color": ezdxf.const.BLUE})

```

### Check available layers using LayerTable protocols

Source: https://ezdxf.mozman.at/docs/tutorials/layers.html

Demonstrates standard Python protocols supported by the `LayerTable` object: iterating over layers, checking for an existing layer definition with `in`, retrieving a layer with `get`, and getting the total count with `len`. The iteration example switches off all layers except layer "0".

```python
# iteration
for layer in doc.layers:
    if layer.dxf.name != "0":
        layer.off()  # switch all layers off except layer "0"

# check for existing layer definition
if "MyLines" in doc.layers:
    layer = doc.layers.get("MyLines")

layer_count = len(doc.layers) # total count of layer definitions

```

### Prelude: Create DXF document and entity layer

Source: https://ezdxf.mozman.at/docs/tutorials/dxf_primitives.html

Sets up a new DXF document, creates a layer named "ENTITY" with color 1, gets the modelspace, and defines common graphical attributes for subsequent entity creation.

```python
import ezdxf
from ezdxf.gfxattribs import GfxAttribs

doc = ezdxf.new()
doc.layers.new("ENTITY", color=1)
msp = doc.modelspace()
attribs = GfxAttribs(layer="ENTITY")

```

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

### Set paragraph properties with ParagraphProperties

Source: https://ezdxf.mozman.at/docs/tutorials/mtext.html

Sets paragraph properties for an MText editor, including first-line indentation and alignment. The indentation is relative to the left indentation and is multiplied by the character height to get drawing units. This example uses a justified alignment and adds the resulting MText to the model space.

```python
# import support classes:
from ezdxf.tools.text import ParagraphProperties, MTextParagraphAlignment

attribs = dict(ATTRIBS)
attribs["char_height"] = 0.25
attribs["width"] = 7.5
editor = MTextEditor("Indent the first line:" + NP)
props = ParagraphProperties(
    indent=1,  # indent first line = 1x0.25 drawing units
    align=MTextParagraphAlignment.JUSTIFIED
)
editor.paragraph(props)
editor.append(lorem_ipsum)
msp.add_mtext(str(editor), attribs)

```

```python
# import support classes:
from ezdxf.tools.text import ParagraphProperties, MTextParagraphAlignment

attribs = dict(ATTRIBS)
attribs["char_height"] = 0.25
attribs["width"] = 7.5
editor = MTextEditor("Indent the first line:" + NP)
props = ParagraphProperties(
    indent=1,  # indent first line = 1x0.25 drawing units
    align=MTextParagraphAlignment.JUSTIFIED
)
editor.paragraph(props)
editor.append(lorem_ipsum)
msp.add_mtext(str(editor), attribs)

```

### Reset main CAD viewport to extents of model space entities

Source: https://ezdxf.mozman.at/docs/tools/zoom.html

Example usage to reset the main CAD viewport of the model space to the extents of its entities using `zoom.extents()`. It creates a new DXF document, gets the model space, and after adding DXF entities, calls the zoom function and saves the drawing.

```python
import ezdxf
from ezdxf import zoom

doc = ezdxf.new()
msp = doc.modelspace()
... # add your DXF entities

zoom.extents(msp)
doc.saveas("your.dxf")
```

### Find loop by pick-point using edgesmith and edgeminer

Source: https://ezdxf.mozman.at/docs/tutorials/edges.html

This snippet finds the smallest HATCH boundary loop containing a pick-point. It uses intersecting_edges_2d() to find a starting edge, find_loop_by_edge() to get candidates in both directions, sorts by area, and selects the smallest loop containing the point. The code reads 'junctions.dxf', adds a hatch, and saves the result to 'find_loop_by_pick_point.dxf'.

```python
doc = ezdxf.readfile("junctions.dxf")
msp = doc.modelspace()
lines = msp.query("LINE")
edges = list(edgesmith.edges_from_entities_2d(lines))
pick_point = (110, 50)

# 1. find a starting edge near the pick-point
intersecting_edges = edgesmith.intersecting_edges_2d(edges, pick_point)
if not len(intersecting_edges):
    print("no intersection found")
    return
hatch = msp.add_hatch(color=2)

# The intersecting edges are sorted by ascending distance to the pick-point
# take the closest edge as starting edge:
start = intersecting_edges[0].edge

# 2. find the best loop candidates
deposit = edgeminer.Deposit(edges)
candidates = [
    edgeminer.find_loop_by_edge(deposit, start, clockwise=True),
    edgeminer.find_loop_by_edge(deposit, start, clockwise=False),
]

# 3. sort candidates by area
candidates.sort(key=edgesmith.loop_area)
for loop in candidates:
    # 4. take the smallest loop which contains the pick-point
    if edgesmith.is_inside_polygon_2d(loop, pick_point):
        hatch.paths.append(edgesmith.polyline_path_from_chain(loop))
        break
else:  # for loop ended without break
    print("no loop found")
    return
doc.saveas("find_loop_by_pick_point.dxf")
```

```python
import ezdxf
from ezdxf.enums import MTextEntityAlignment
from ezdxf.addons import TablePainter

doc = ezdxf.new("R2000")  # required for lineweight support
doc.header["$LWDISPLAY"] = 1  # show lineweights
doc.styles.add("HEAD", font="OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf")
doc.styles.add("CELL", font="OpenSans-Regular.ttf")

### Get a default value for a missing DXF attribute with get()

Source: https://ezdxf.mozman.at/docs/tutorials/getting_data.html

Uses the get() method to return a default value (0) for the 'paperspace' attribute if it does not exist, avoiding a DXFValueError.

```python
# If DXF attribute 'paperspace' does not exist, the entity defaults
# to modelspace:
p = e.dxf.get("paperspace", 0)
