Hello OpenSCAD,

is there a program that will "pretty" up a source listing by giving it a uniform appearance?

So all the indents are even for each level of indentation and the braces are paired off for easy visualation of grouping.

Thanks,

Bob Ros

i wrote a program like that and promoted it to the list asking if there
is the ability to include such a external code formater into OpenScad.
Did not get any responce till now.

Hi corpsman,

Even if it were not incorporated into the program itself it would be useful to "spiff" up the code before it is opened in OpenSCAD itself.

I would be interested in having a copy if you would share it.

I too would appreciate such a tool.

I'm not a programmer but for my electronics hobby last year I got into Arduino.
(Because of its similarities that has made my more recent learning of OpenSCAD a
bit easier.) One tool built into Arduino is Auto Format; the hotkey <Ctrl+t>
applies the sort of changes Bob mentioned.

At 50+ years of programming, formatting my code is a compulsion and I do it automatically.

For those of you who aren’t programmers, formatting code for READING is really important. You will read the code many more times than you will write it. Also, though you know what’s going on now, if you return to this code in 4 months you won’t remember everything so put in comments as if someone else was having to read and understand the code. You will be happy you did. “Now why did I add 4/3 of H there?”.

There is a tool that I have used for years to tidy code, mainly C, C++ and C#, and it works well.

You can define your own strategy for a language and I don't think OpenScad would pose any significant problems.

It's called "Uncrustify" and you can find it HERE.

Dave

There is also a tool to help generate CFG for "uncrustify" and allows you to interactively see the effect you config has.

It's called "UniversalIndentGUI_win32" and you can find it HERE.
