Workplane.lineTo()

The lineTo() method is used in CadQuery to create a straight line between two points on a Workplane object. The method takes in two parameters which represent the x, y, and z coordinates of the starting and ending points of the line.

Syntax:

lineTo(x, y, z=None)

Parameters:

• x: The x-coordinate of the ending point of the line.
• y: The y-coordinate of the ending point of the line.
• z: (Optional) The z-coordinate of the ending point of the line. If not specified, the line will be created on the current Workplane plane.

Return Value:

The lineTo() method does not return any value. It creates a line segment as a child of the current Solid object.

Example Usage:

import cadquery as cq

# Create a new workplane at the origin
wp = cq.Workplane("XY")

# Draw a line from (0,0) to (1,1) and add it to the workplane
wp.lineTo(1, 1)

# Draw another line from (1,1) to (2,1) and add it to the workplane
wp.lineTo(2, 1)

# Create a 3D object using the workplane
result = wp.extrude(0.5)

# Display the result
show_object(result)

This code creates a workplane at the origin (0,0,0) and then draws two straight line segments using the lineTo() method. These line segments are then extruded to create a 3D object, which is displayed using the show_object() method.

Notes:

• The lineTo() method must be called on a Workplane object.
• If the z parameter is not specified, the line will be created on the current Workplane plane.
