OCADml

OCADml is a collection of types and functions facilitating Computer Aided Design (CAD) in OCaml. In particular, the style of design currently supported is that of 2D drawing and mesh generation via sweeping/extrusion.

API

OCADml -- top level library interface

Vectors and transformations

  • V2 -- 2d vector operations
  • V3 -- 3d vector operations
  • Affine2 -- 2d affine transformation matrices
  • Affine3 -- 3d affine transformation matrices
  • Quaternion -- quaternion manipulation andl application
  • Plane -- normalized cartesian plane operations

2d paths and polygons

  • Path2 -- generation and manipulation of 2d paths
  • Bezier2 -- 2d bezier curves, patches, and splines
  • CubicSpline -- cubic spline interpolation of 2d paths
  • Poly2 -- 2d polygons (outer, and zero or more inner paths)
  • PolyText -- point representations of text (via cairo)

3d paths, coplanar polygons, and meshes

  • Path3 -- generation and manipulation of 3d paths
  • Bezier3 -- 3d bezier curves, patches, and splines
  • Poly3 -- planar 3d polygons (outer, and zero or more inner paths)
  • Mesh -- points and faces 3d mesh representation (polyhedrons)

Utilities

  • Math -- float and 2d matrix operations
  • BallTree2 -- 2d vector space partitioning search tree
  • BallTree3 -- 3d vector space partitioning search tree

CAD Package Specific Frontends

This library only provides a means to generate point and face based geometries, in order to perform boolean operations, validation, and export, you'll need to work with a particular CAD package.

[@@deriving cad]

There is a companion ppx, [@@deriving cad] for generating transformation functions for user-defined records and abstract types composed of types for which the basic transformation functions are defined, such as vectors (V2.t or V3.t) (and those composed of them) provided in this library.
