gore

The gore macro facilitates the drafting of [gores][1] to create spherical or other roundish objects. They are are typically used in hats. It is provided by the gore plugin.

Signature

macro('gore', { 
  Point from,
  Number radius,
  Number gores,
  Number extraLength,
  Boolean hidden=true,
  String class='',
  String prefix='',
)

Example

```js ({ Point, macro, part }) => {

macro('gore', { from: new Point(0,0), radius: 100, gores: 6, extraLength: 20, hidden: false, class: 'fabric', })

return part }

</Example>

## Configuration

| Property      | Default | Type       | Description                                  |
|--------------:|---------|------------|----------------------------------------------|
| `from`        |         | [Point][2] | The point to start drafting the gore from |
| `radius`      |         | number     | The radius of the sphere the gores should cover |
| `gores`       |         | number     | The number of gores into which the sphere is divided |
| `extraLength` |         | number     | The length of the straight section after a complete semisphere |
| `hidden`      | `true`  | boolean    | Whether or not to hide the generated path |
| `class`       |         | boolean    | Any classes to add to the generated path |
| `prefix`      |         | string     | A prefix to apply to the names of the generated path and points |

## Result

| Generated Element | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `paths.${prefix}seam` | The Path for the gore |
| `points.${prefix}p1` | Point for the gore tip |
| `points.${prefix}p2` | Point between the tip and side corner |
| `points.${prefix}p3` | Point for the gore side corner |
| `points.${prefix}Cp1` | Control Point used to create the curved path |
| `points.${prefix}Cp2` | Control Point used to create the curved path |
