(also posted to reddit: r/openscad) I was doing a lot of polygon extrusion for my steam locomotive model, and it's really not intuitive to use an array of points to make changes to a shape. So, I wrote a polygon editor to let me plot points in a shape, then copy-paste into my OpenSCAD script, or save a file with the array definition to use <> in the script. I just posted version 1.1, which adds a grid table of the point values to allow for easy editing. The program supports both two-column point arrays for regular polygons as well as three-column arrays (x, y, and radius) for use with the Round-Anything library. Make sure the polyround property is set appropriately; if a Round-Anything module gets a two-column array, it'll complain loudly for a long time... https://github.com/butcherg/wxpolygon/releases/tag/v1.1 <https://github.com/butcherg/wxpolygon/releases/tag/v1.1> The release page has both Windows installer and a Linux Appimage; sorry, I don't have a Mac to do a MacOS installer. Anyway, free to use, source code released under the GPL 2.0 license. Have fun...

Bummer, the AppImage does not run on my Linux Mint 19.1LTS system. Lots of GLIBC_* missing stuff... Guess I get to try building the source tarball! Sounds like a very nice tool to have in the toolbox. wwm On 2/8/23 16:11, Glenn Butcher wrote: > > (also posted to reddit: r/openscad) > > > I was doing a lot of polygon extrusion for my steam locomotive model, > and it's really not intuitive to use an array of points to make > changes to a shape.

Thanks Glen, that is going to be a very useful piece of software for me. One thing though- any chance of a bigger font? The existing font size is a bit hard on my old eyes, and my usual windows "control+scroll wheel" trick doesn't seem to work on wxpolygon.

William, I posted a second appimage, wxpolygon-1.1-x86_64-kitchensink.AppImage <https://github.com/butcherg/wxpolygon/releases/download/v1.1/wxpolygon-1.1-x86_64-kitchensink.AppImage>, contains all the libraries the wxpolygon executable needs, not sure how this'll work with libraries your system already has. Before this, you might try to install GLIBC, something like 'sudo apt install libglib2' Compiling source is a little involved, wxWidgets is needed.  I've only tested downloading and compiling wxWidgets itself, not sure if the configure script will find the libraries of a distro install. Let me know how it goes... g On 2/8/2023 5:53 PM, William Martin wrote: > > Bummer, the AppImage does not run on my Linux Mint 19.1LTS system. > Lots of GLIBC_* missing stuff...

Yes, I saw that there was something different about wxWidgets, just checked on Mint & it has this installed: libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5. I'll try the new appImage, but may still want to play with the src build in the near future. Haven't figured out what if any GLIBC is installed, I notice warnings about breaking your system if installing over an existing GLIBC, so I'm in no hurry to try that! bill On 2/8/23 17:56, Glenn Butcher wrote: > > William, > > I posted a second appimage, wxpolygon-1.1-x86_64-kitchensink.AppImage > <https://github.com/butcherg/wxpolygon/releases/download/v1.1/wxpolygon-1.1-x86_64-kitchensink.AppImage>, > contains all the libraries the wxpolygon executable needs, not sure > how this'll work with libraries your system already has.

hi glenn, this sounds interesting, can you post a sample application? sample input -> sample output Thank you !
