POINT¶
Type: Basic DXF R12 entity.
A point simply marks a coordinate. Points are generally used for reference.
-
DXFEngine.point(point=(0., 0.), **kwargs)¶ Parameters: - point – start point (xy- or xyz-tuple)
- orientation – a 3D vector (xyz-tuple), orientation of PDMODE images … see dxf documentation
Common Keyword Arguments for all Basic DXF R12 Entities¶
| keyword | description |
|---|---|
| layer | Layer name as string |
| linetype | Linetype name as string, if not defined = BYLAYER |
| color | as integer in range [1..255], 0 = BYBLOCK, 256 = BYLAYER |
| thickness | Thickness as float |
| paper_space | 0 = entity is in model_space, 1 = entity is in paper_space |
| extrusion_direction | 3D Point as tuple(x, y, z) if extrusion direction is not parallel to the World Z axis |
Attribs of DXF entities can be changed by the index operator:
from dxfwrite import DXFEngine as dxf
drawing = dxf.drawing('drawing.dxf')
point = dxf.point((1.0, 1.0))
point['layer'] = 'points'
point['color'] = 7
point['point'] = (2, 3) # int or float
drawing.add(point)
drawing.save()
