Revar, thanks for hunting out that information.
I was expecting there to be a parameter for the roof's pitch angle but
now I have realized it isn't needed, as I can scale the result by tan of
the pitch angle instead (it seems to pitch at 45 degrees by default).
And, it turns out that for the method parameter, the default is all I'll
ever need - convenient, as from explanations I found through google, I
couldn't figure out how voronoi would work.
I asked about roof because I used to do engraving like the image below
by differencing away a linear extrude and then using minkowski with a
conical element. It would take quite a while for some of the larger and
more complex shapes. Now, with roof and the new render, it's going to be
crazy quick, and the code is simpler too.
Cheers,
Steve

translate([-2, -4, -3]) cube([80, 18, 3]);
scale([-1, 1, -tan(30)]) roof() scale([-1, 1]) text("Hello,
World!", font="Times New Roman");
}

Looking at the source code, the arguments to roof() are method=, which can take values of "voronoi" or "straight", and convexity=, which is familiar from linear_extrude(), etc.
Other than that, it looks like it can take the usual $fn/$fa/$fs suspects.

I've been been digging around on the Web and on the mailing list archive, trying to find out about the parameters for the roof() module - no luck. Where's the best place to see a summary?
