See https://florianfesti.github.io/boxes/html/generators.html for the full list.\n\n+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+\n| .. image:: static/samples/AngledBox.jpg      | .. image:: static/samples/FlexBox2.jpg       | .. image:: static/samples/HingeBox.jpg       |\n+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+\n\nFeatures\n--------\n\nBoxes.py generates SVG images that can be viewed directly in a web browser but also\npostscript and - with pstoedit as external helper - other vector formats\nincluding dxf, plt (aka hpgl) and gcode.\n\nOf course the library and the generators allow selecting the \"thickness\"\nof the material used and automatically adjusts lengths and width of\njoining fingers and other elements.\n\nThe \"burn\" parameter compensates for the material removed by the laser. This\nallows fine tuning the gaps between joins up to the point where plywood\ncan be press fitted even without any glue.\n\nFinger Joints are the work horse of the library. They allow 90° edges\nand T connections. Their size is scaled up with the material\n\"thickness\" to maintain the same appearance. The library also allows\nputting holes and slots for screws (bed bolts) into finger joints,\nalthough this is currently not supported for the included generators.\n\nDovetail joints can be used to join pieces in the same plane.\n\nFlex cuts allows bending and stretching the material in one direction. This\nis used for rounded edges and living hinges.\n\n+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+\n|   .. image:: static/samples/TypeTray.jpg     |     .. image:: static/samples/BinTray.jpg    | .. image:: static/samples/DisplayShelf.jpg   |\n+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+\n| .. image:: static/samples/AgricolaInsert.jpg | .. image:: static/samples/HeartBox.jpg       | .. image:: static/samples/Atreus21.jpg       |\n+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+\n\nDocumentation\n-------------\n\nBoxes.py comes with Sphinx based documentation for usage, installation\nand development.\n\nThe rendered version can be viewed at \u003chttps://florianfesti.github.io/boxes/html/index.html\u003e.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Python"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fflorianfesti%2Fboxes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fflorianfesti%2Fboxes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fflorianfesti%2Fboxes/lists"}
