// Module: hex_panel()
// Usage:
// hex_panel(shape, wall, spacing, [frame=], [bevel=], [bevel_frame=], [h=|height=|l=|length=], [anchor=], [orient=], [spin=])
// Description:
// Produces a panel with a honeycomb interior. The panel consists of a frame containing
// a honeycob interior. The frame is laid out in the XY plane with the honeycob interior
// and then extruded to the height h. The shape argument defines the outer bounderies of
// the frame.
// .
// The simplest way to define the frame shape is to give a cuboid size as a 3d vector for
// the shape argument. The h argument is not allowed in this case. With rectangular frames you can supply the
// bevel argument which applies a 45 deg bevel on the specified list of edges. These edges
// can be LEFT, RIGHT, FRONT, or BACK to place a bevel the edge facing upward. You can add
// BOTTOM, as in LEFT+BOT, to get a bevel that faces down. When beveling a separate beveled frame
// is added to the model. You can independently control its thickness by setting `bevel_frame`, which
// defaults to the frame thickness. Note also that `frame` and `bevel_frame` can be set to zero
// to produce just the honeycomb.
// .
// The other option is to provide a 2D path as the shape argument. The path must not intersect
// itself. You must give the height argument in this case and you cannot give the bevel argument.
// The panel is made from a linear extrusion of the specified shape. In this case, anchoring
// is done as usual for linear sweeps. The shape appears by default on its base and you can
// choose "hull" or "intersect" anchor types.
// Arguments:
// shape = 3D size vector or a 2D path
// strut = thickness of hexagonal bracing
// spacing = center-to-center spacing of hex cells in the honeycomb.
// --
// frame = width of the frame around the honeycomb. Default: same as strut
// bevel = list of edges to bevel on rectangular case when shape is a size vector; allowed options are RIGHT, LEFT, BACK, or FRONT, or those directions with BOTTOM added. Default: []
// bevel_frame = width of the frame applied at bevels. Default: same as frame
// h / height / l / length = thickness of the panel when shape is a path
// anchor = Translate so anchor point is at origin (0,0,0). See [anchor](attachments.scad#subsection-anchor). Default: `CENTER` for rectangular panels, `"zcenter"` for extrusions.
// spin = Rotate this many degrees around the Z axis after anchor. See [spin](attachments.scad#subsection-spin). Default: `0`
// orient = Vector to rotate top towards, after spin. See [orient](attachments.scad#subsection-orient). Default: `UP`
// atype = Select "hull", "intersect" anchor types. Default: "hull"
// cp = Centerpoint for determining "intersect" anchors or centering the shape. Determintes the base of the anchor vector. Can be "centroid", "mean", "box" or a 3D point. Default: "centroid"
// Named Anchors:
// "base" = Anchor to the base of the shape in its native position
// "top" = Anchor to the top of the shape in its native position
// "zcenter" = Center shape in the Z direction in the native XY position (default)
// Anchor Types:
// hull = Anchors to the convex hull of the linear sweep of the path, ignoring any end roundings.
// intersect = Anchors to the surface of the linear sweep of the path, ignoring any end roundings.
// Examples
// hex_panel([50, 100, 5], strut=1.5, spacing=10);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 5], 1.5, 10, frame = 5);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 5], 5, 10.05);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 5], 1.5, 20, frame = 5);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 5], 1.5, 12, frame = 0);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 5], frame = 10, spacing = 20, strut = 4);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 5, bevel = [LEFT, RIGHT]);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 5, bevel = [FWD, BACK]);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 3, bevel = [LEFT, RIGHT, FWD, BACK]);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 1, bevel = [LEFT, RIGHT, FWD+BOTTOM, BACK+BOTTOM]);
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame=2, bevel_frame=0, bevel = [FWD, BACK+BOT, RIGHT, LEFT]);
// Example: Triangle
// s = [[0, -40], [0, 40], [60, 0]];
// hex_panel(s, strut=1.5, spacing=10, h = 10, frame = 5);
// Example: Concave polygon
// s = [[0, -40], [0, 70], [60, 0], [80, 20], [70, -20]];
// hex_panel(s, 1.5, 10, h = 10, frame = 5);
// Example: Another concave example
// s = [[0, -40], [0, 40], [30, 20], [60, 40], [60, -40], [30, -20]];
// hex_panel(s, 1.5, 10, h = 10, frame = 5);
// Example: Circular panel
// hex_panel(circle(30), 1.5, 10, h = 10, frame = 5);
// Example: More complicated shape
// s = glued_circles(d=50, spread=50, tangent=30);
// hex_panel(s, 1.5, 10, h = 10, frame = 5);
// Example: Care is required when arranging panels vertically for 3d printability. Setting `orient=RIGHT` produces the correct result.
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 5, bevel = [FWD, BACK], anchor = BACK + RIGHT + BOTTOM, orient = RIGHT);
// zrot(-90)hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 5, bevel = [FWD, BACK], anchor = FWD + RIGHT + BOTTOM, orient = RIGHT);
// Example: In this example panels one of the panels is positioned with `orient=FWD` which produces hexagons with 60 deg overhang edges that may not be 3d printable. This example alsu uses `bevel_frame` to thin the material at the corner.
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 5, bevel_frame=1, bevel = [FWD, BACK], anchor = BACK + RIGHT + BOTTOM, orient = RIGHT);
// hex_panel([100, 50, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 5, bevel_frame=1, bevel = [LEFT, RIGHT], anchor = FWD + LEFT + BOTTOM, orient = FWD);
// Example: Joining panels with {{attach()}}. In this case panels were joined front beveled edge to back beveled edge, which means the hex structure doesn't align at the joint
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 5, bevel_frame=0, bevel = [FWD, BACK], anchor = BACK + RIGHT + BOTTOM, orient = RIGHT)
// attach(BACK,FRONT)
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 5, bevel_frame=0, bevel = [FWD, BACK]);
// Example: Joining panels with {{attach()}}. Attaching BACK to BACK aligns the hex structure which looks better.
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 1, bevel = [FWD, BACK], anchor = BACK + RIGHT + BOTTOM, orient = RIGHT)
// attach(BACK,BACK)
// hex_panel([50, 100, 10], 1.5, 10, frame = 1, bevel = [FWD, BACK]);
