// Section: Anchors, Spin, and Orientation
// This library adds the concept of anchoring, spin and orientation to the `cube()`, `cylinder()`
// and `sphere()` builtins, as well as to most of the shapes provided by this library itself.
// - An anchor is a place on an object which you can align the object to, or attach other objects
// to using `attach()` or `position()`. An anchor has a position, a direction, and a spin.
// The direction and spin are used to orient other objects to match when using `attach()`.
// - Spin is a simple rotation around the Z axis.
// - Orientation is rotating an object so that its top is pointed towards a given vector.
// An object will first be translated to its anchor position, then spun, then oriented.
// .
// ## Anchor
// Anchoring is specified with the `anchor` argument in most shape modules. Specifying `anchor`
// when creating an object will translate the object so that the anchor point is at the origin
// (0,0,0). Anchoring always occurs before spin and orientation are applied.
// .
// An anchor can be referred to in one of two ways; as a directional vector, or as a named anchor string.
// .
// When given as a vector, it points, in a general way, towards the face, edge, or corner of the
// object that you want the anchor for, relative to the center of the object. There are directional
// constants named `TOP`, `BOTTOM`, `FRONT`, `BACK`, `LEFT`, and `RIGHT` that you can add together
// to specify an anchor point.
// .
// For example:
// - `[0,0,1]` is the same as `TOP` and refers to the center of the top face.
// - `[-1,0,1]` is the same as `TOP+LEFT`, and refers to the center of the top-left edge.
// - `[1,1,-1]` is the same as `BOTTOM+BACK+RIGHT`, and refers to the bottom-back-right corner.
// .
// When the object is cylindrical, conical, or spherical in nature, the anchors will be located
// around the surface of the cylinder, cone, or sphere, relative to the center. The direction of a
// face anchor will be perpendicular to the face, pointing outward. The direction of a edge anchor
// will be the average of the anchor directions of the two faces the edge is between. The direction
// of a corner anchor will be the average of the anchor directions of the three faces the corner is
// on. The spin of all standard anchors is 0.
// .
// Some more complex objects, like screws and stepper motors, have named anchors to refer to places
// on the object that are not at one of the standard faces, edges or corners. For example, stepper
// motors have anchors for `"screw1"`, `"screw2"`, etc. to refer to the various screwholes on the
// stepper motor shape. The names, positions, directions, and spins of these anchors will be
// specific to the object, and will be documented when they exist.
// .
// ## Spin
// Spin is specified with the `spin` argume// nt in most shape modules. Specifying a scalar `spin`
// when creating an object will rotate the object counter-clockwise around the Z axis by the given
// number of degrees. If given as a 3D vector, the object will be rotated around each of the X, Y, Z
// axes by the number of degrees in each component of the vector. Spin is always applied after
// anchoring, and before orientation.
// .
// ## Orient
// Orientation is specified with the `orient` argument in most shape modules. Specifying `orient`
// when creating an object will rotate the object such that the top of the object will be pointed
// at the vector direction given in the `orient` argument. Orientation is always applied after
// anchoring and spin. The constants `UP`, `DOWN`, `FRONT`, `BACK`, `LEFT`, and `RIGHT` can be
// added together to form the directional vector for this. ie: `LEFT+BACK`
// .

// If `p` is not given, then the transformation matrix will be returned.
// If `p` contains a VNF, a new VNF will be returned with the vertices transformed by the matrix.
// If `p` contains a path, a new path will be returned with the vertices transformed by the matrix.
// If `p` contains a point, a new point will be returned, transformed by the matrix.
// .
// If `$attach_to` is not defined, then the following transformations are performed in order:
// * Translates so the `anchor` point is at the origin (0,0,0).
// * Rotates around the Z axis by `spin` degrees counter-clockwise.
// * Rotates so the top of the part points towards the vector `orient`.
// .
// If `$attach_to` is defined, as a consequence of `attach(from,to)`, then
// the following transformations are performed in order:
// * Translates this part so it's anchor position matches the parent's anchor position.
// * Rotates this part so it's anchor direction vector exactly opposes the parent's anchor direction vector.
// * Rotates this part so it's anchor spin matches the parent's anchor spin.

// Description:
// Manages the anchoring, spin, orientation, and attachments for a 3D volume or 2D area.
// A managed 3D volume is assumed to be vertically (Z-axis) oriented, and centered.
// A managed 2D area is just assumed to be centered. The shape to be managed is given
// as the first child to this module, and the second child should be given as `children()`.
// For example, to manage a conical shape:
// ```openscad
// attachable(anchor, spin, orient, r1=r1, r2=r2, l=h) {
// cyl(r1=r1, r2=r2, l=h);
// children();
// }
// ```
// .
// If this is *not* run as a child of `attach()` with the `to` argument
// given, then the following transformations are performed in order:
// * Translates so the `anchor` point is at the origin (0,0,0).
// * Rotates around the Z axis by `spin` degrees counter-clockwise.
// * Rotates so the top of the part points towards the vector `orient`.
// .
// If this is called as a child of `attach(from,to)`, then the info
// for the anchor points referred to by `from` and `to` are fetched,
// which will include position, direction, and spin. With that info,
// the following transformations are performed:
// * Translates this part so it's anchor position matches the parent's anchor position.
// * Rotates this part so it's anchor direction vector exactly opposes the parent's anchor direction vector.
// * Rotates this part so it's anchor spin matches the parent's anchor spin.
// .

// Section: Attachment Positioning
// Module: orient()
// Usage:
// orient(dir, <spin=>) ...
// orient(anchor=, <spin=>) ...
// Topics: Attachments
// Description:
// Orients children such that their top is tilted towards the given direction, or towards the
// direction of a given anchor point on the parent. For a more step-by-step explanation of
// attachments, see the [[Attachments Tutorial|Tutorial-Attachments]].
// Arguments:
// dir = The direction to orient towards.
// ---
// anchor = The anchor on the parent which you want to match the orientation of. Use instead of `dir`.
// spin = The spin to add to the children. (Overrides anchor spin.)
// See Also: attachable(), attach(), orient()
// Example: Orienting by Vector
// prismoid([50,50],[30,30],h=40) {
// position(TOP+RIGHT)
// orient(RIGHT)
// prismoid([30,30],[0,5],h=20,anchor=BOT+LEFT);
// }
// Example: When orienting to an anchor, the spin of the anchor may cause confusion:
// prismoid([50,50],[30,30],h=40) {
// position(TOP+RIGHT)
// orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// prismoid([30,30],[0,5],h=20,anchor=BOT+LEFT);
// }
// Example: You can override anchor spin with `spin=`.
// prismoid([50,50],[30,30],h=40) {
// position(TOP+RIGHT)
// orient(anchor=RIGHT,spin=0)
// prismoid([30,30],[0,5],h=20,anchor=BOT+LEFT);
// }
// Example: Or you can anchor the child from the back
// prismoid([50,50],[30,30],h=40) {
// position(TOP+RIGHT)
// orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// prismoid([30,30],[0,5],h=20,anchor=BOT+BACK);

// Attaches children to a parent object at an anchor point and orientation. Attached objects will

// from = The vector, or name of the parent anchor point to attach to.

// Module: hulling()
// Usage:
// hulling(a) {...}
// Topics: Attachments
// See Also: tags(), recolor(), show(), hide(), diff(), intersect()
// Description:
// If `a` is not given, then all children are `hull()`ed together.
// If `a` is given as a string, then all children with `$tags` that are in `a` are
// `hull()`ed together and the result is then unioned with all the remaining children.
// Cannot be used in conjunction with `diff()` or `intersect()` on the same parent object.
// .
// For a more step-by-step explanation of attachments, see the [[Attachments Tutorial|Tutorial-Attachments]].
// Arguments:
// a = String containing space delimited set of tag names of children to hull.
// Example:
// hulling("body")
// sphere(d=100, $tags="body") {
// attach(CENTER) cube([40,90,90], anchor=CENTER, $tags="body");
// attach(CENTER) xcyl(d=40, l=120, $tags="other");
// }
