Edges
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
As edges started out as methods of the main Boxes class they still are
|
|
callables. A set of instances are kept the ``.edges`` attribute of the
|
|
``Boxes`` class. It is a dict with strings of length one as keys:
|
|
|
|
* e : Edge
|
|
* E : OutSetEdge
|
|
* f : FingerJointEdge
|
|
* F : FingerJointEdgeCounterPart
|
|
* h : FingerHoleEdge
|
|
* d : DoveTailJoint
|
|
* D : DoveTailJointCounterPart
|
|
|
|
Edges of the same type share a settings instance to make sure both
|
|
sides match (when the same length is given).

Finger joints
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Finger joints are a simple way of joining two sheets (e.g. of plywood). They
|
|
work best at an 90° angle. There are two different sides matching each
|
|
other. As a third alternative there are holes that the fingers of one
|
|
sheet can plug into. This allows stable T connections especially
|
|
useful for inner walls.

In addition there is
|
|
|
|
.. automethod:: boxes.Boxes.fingerHolesAt
|
|
|
|
which is no Edge but fits ``FingerJointEdge``.

Dove Tail Joints
|
|
----------------
|
|
Dovetails joints can only be used to join two pieces flatly. This
|
|
limits their use to closing some round form created with flex areas or
|
|
for joining several parts to a bigger one. For this use case they are
|
|
much stronger than simple finger joints and can also bare pulling forces.
