// Section: Functions


// Function: hex_offset_ring()
// Description:
//   Returns a hexagonal ring of points, with a spacing of `d`.
//   If `lev=0`, returns a single point at `[0,0]`.  All greater
//   levels return 6 times `lev` points.
// Usage:
//   hex_offset_ring(d, lev)
// Arguments:
//   d = Base unit diameter to build rings upon.
//   lev = How many rings to produce.
// Example:
//   hex_offset_ring(d=1, lev=3); // Returns a hex ring of 18 points.
function hex_offset_ring(d, lev=0) =
    (lev == 0)? [[0,0]] : [
        for (
            sideang = [0:60:359.999],

        ) [
            lev*d*cos(sideang)+sidenum*d*cos(sideang+120),
            lev*d*sin(sideang)+sidenum*d*sin(sideang+120)
        ]
    ];


// Function: hex_offsets()
// Description:
//   Returns the centerpoints for the optimal hexagonal packing
//   of at least `n` circular items, of diameter `d`.  Will return
//   enough points to fill out the last ring, even if that is more
//   than `n` points.
// Usage:
//   hex_offsets(n, d)
// Arguments:
//   n = Number of items to bundle.
//   d = How far to space each point away from others.

// Section: Modules


// Module: wiring()
// Description:
//   Returns a 3D object representing a bundle of wires that follow a given path,
//   with the corners rounded to a given radius.  There are 17 base wire colors.
//   If you have more than 17 wires, colors will get re-used.
// Usage:
//   wiring(path, wires, [wirediam], [rounding], [wirenum], [bezsteps]);
// Arguments:
//   path = The 3D path that the wire bundle should follow.
//   wires = The number of wires in the wiring bundle.
//   wirediam = The diameter of each wire in the bundle.
//   rounding = The radius that the path corners will be rounded to.
//   wirenum = The first wire's offset into the color table.
//   corner_steps = The corner roundings in the path will be converted into this number of segments.
// Example:
//   wiring([[50,0,-50], [50,50,-50], [0,50,-50], [0,0,-50], [0,0,0]], rounding=10, wires=13);
