// Module: rot_copies()
//
// Description:
//   Given a list of [X,Y,Z] rotation angles in `rots`, rotates copies of the children to each of those angles, regardless of axis of rotation.
//   Given a list of scalar angles in `rots`, rotates copies of the children to each of those angles around the axis of rotation.
//   If given a vector `v`, that becomes the axis of rotation.  Default axis of rotation is UP.
//   If given a count `n`, makes that many copies, rotated evenly around the axis.
//   If given an offset `delta`, translates each child by that amount before rotating them into place.  This makes rings.
//   If given a centerpoint `cp`, centers the ring around that centerpoint.
//   If `subrot` is true, each child will be rotated in place to keep the same size towards the center.
//   The first (unrotated) copy will be placed at the relative starting angle `sa`.
//
// Usage:
//   rot_copies(rots, [cp], [sa], [delta], [subrot]) ...
//   rot_copies(rots, v, [cp], [sa], [delta], [subrot]) ...
//   rot_copies(n, [v], [cp], [sa], [delta], [subrot]) ...
//
// Arguments:
//   rots = A list of [X,Y,Z] rotation angles in degrees.  If `v` is given, this will be a list of scalar angles in degrees to rotate around `v`.
//   v = If given, this is the vector of the axis to rotate around.
//   cp = Centerpoint to rotate around.  Default: `[0,0,0]`
//   n = Optional number of evenly distributed copies, rotated around the axis.
//   sa = Starting angle, in degrees.  For use with `n`.  Angle is in degrees counter-clockwise.  Default: 0
//   delta = [X,Y,Z] amount to move away from cp before rotating.  Makes rings of copies.  Default: `[0,0,0]`
//   subrot = If false, don't sub-rotate children as they are copied around the ring.  Only makes sense when used with `delta`.  Default: `true`
//
// Side Effects:
//   `$ang` is set to the rotation angle (or XYZ rotation triplet) of each child copy, and can be used to modify each child individually.
//   `$idx` is set to the index value of each child copy.
//   `$axis` is set to the axis to rotate around, if `rots` was given as a list of angles instead of a list of [X,Y,Z] rotation angles.
//

//
// Usage:
//   zflip_copy([z], [offset]) ...
//
// Arguments:
//   offset = Distance to offset children up, before copying.
//   z = The Z coordinate of the mirroring plane.  Default: 0
//
// Side Effects:
//   `$orig` is true for the original instance of children.  False for the copy.
//   `$idx` is set to the index value of each copy.
//
// Example:
//   zflip_copy() cylinder(h=20, r1=4, r2=0);
//   color("blue",0.25) cube([15,15,0.01], center=true);
//
// Example:
//   zflip_copy(offset=5) cylinder(h=20, r1=4, r2=0);
//   color("blue",0.25) cube([15,15,0.01], center=true);
//
// Example:
//   zflip_copy(z=-5) cylinder(h=20, r1=4, r2=0);
//   color("blue",0.25) down(5) cube([15,15,0.01], center=true);
