This is a cross post from https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/discussions/875
this demo also aims to be a template for future jscad tutorials
Here is a presentation of a proposal for a new jscad feature: http://3d.hrg.hr/jscad/three/new_params_proposal/parameters.html#0
It is an additional syntax that can be used instead getParameterDefinitions to simplify writing scripts that use parameters.
The intention is to keep getParameterDefinitions and have also this alternative way of defining parameters
the idea is allow developer to write the source source file like this:
function main({//jscadparams
// size
radius = 22,// Radius {type:'slider', live:1}
// location (initially closed) {initial: 'closed'}
x=0, // {type:'slider', live:1}
y=0, // {type:'slider', live:1}
z=0, // {type:'slider', live:1}
}){
return translate([x,y,z],sphere({radius, height:x}))
}
and the script does not have to provide getParameterDefinitions
The parser would internally generate this definition based on the source above
function getParameterDefinitions(){
return [
{"name":"_group_1","type":"group","caption":"size"},
{"caption":"Radius","type":"slider","name":"radius","initial":22,"live":1,"min":0,"max":44},
{"name":"_group_2","type":"group","caption":"location (initially closed)","initial":"closed"},
{"caption":"x","type":"slider","name":"x","initial":0,"live":1,"min":0,"max":100},
{"caption":"y","type":"slider","name":"y","initial":0,"live":1,"min":0,"max":100},
{"caption":"z","type":"slider","name":"z","initial":0,"live":1,"min":0,"max":100},
]
}
and the form would be something like this:
also, this demo uses a new worker implementation (with regl-renderer) that renders to offscreen canvas transferControlToOffscreen so both renderer and script execution are in the worker.
