Simple Rectangle

Let’s write code to draw a rectangle on a plane.

First, let’s import the gcoordinator library:

import gcoordinator as gc

The coordinates for the nozzle’s movement are (0, 0, 0), (10, 0, 0), (10, 10, 0), (0, 10, 0), and (0, 0, 0). Considering the starting and ending points, we’ll sequentially move through these five coordinates.

In gcoordinator, it is necessary to have coordinate sequences for x, y, and z. Therefore, we’ll create coordinate sequences like the following.

x = [0, 10.0, 10.0, 0, 0]
y = [0, 0, 10.0, 10.0, 0]
z = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

From these sequences, we’ll create the nozzle path.

rectangle = gc.path(x, y, z)

We’ll add the created path to a list called “full_object.”

full_object = []
full_object.append(rectangle)

If you’re using G-coordinator (GUI app), you can preview it with gc.gui_export(full_object). If you’re using gcoordinator as a Python library, you can use gc.show(full_object) to display the preview.

gc.gui_export(full_object) # for G-coordinator (GUI app)

gc.show(full_object) # for gcoordinator as a Python library

Here is the final code to draw a rectangle on a plane:

import gcoordinator as gc

full_object = []

x = [0, 10.0, 10.0, 0, 0]
y = [0, 0, 10.0, 10.0, 0]
z = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

rectangle = gc.path(x, y, z)
full_object.append(rectangle)

gc.gui_export(full_object) # for G-coordinator (GUI app)
