{2,...} Line
{2,...} Contraction
Creates one or more lines by either giving absolute coordinates or relative coordinates, by giving the angles with respect to the xy-plane and a length or a vector describing the direction and a length and add contraction features to them.
contraction 1 2 "relative" 3 4
Creates a line from a new point with coordinates (1, 2) to another new point which is 3 in the x- and 4 in the y-direction from the first point at (4, 6) and adds a contraction feature to it.
contraction Point_1 "relative" 3 4 -5 -9 "angles" 30 16
Creates a line from Point_1 (1, 2) to a new point which is 3 in the x- and 4 in the y-direction from the first point at (4, 6). From that new point a line is created to another new point which is -5 in the x- and -9 in the y-direction from the previous point at (-1, -3). From that point a new line is created which has an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the xy-plane and a length of 16, this line ends at coordinates (12.86, 5). Adds contraction features to all lines.
contraction (1 2) "angles" 45 10 "absolute" (4 5)
Creates a line from a new point with coordinates (1, 2) which has an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the xy-plane and a length of 10. Then creates a line from the end point of the first line to a new point with coordinates (4, 5) and adds contraction features to all lines.
