Detailed Description

The Space above contain more functionalities, and should be used in priority.

A Space is created by specifying a geometry:

set space NAME
{
   geometry = GEOMETRY DIMENSIONS
}

DIMENSIONS is usually a list of numbers.

List of known geometry:

GEOMETRY	Class	DIMENSIONS
rectangle	SpaceSquare	sizeX sizeY sizeZ
sphere	SpaceSphere	radius
polygon	SpacePolygon	file_name height
capsule	SpaceCapsule	half_length radius
torus	SpaceTorus	half_length thickness radius
dice	SpaceDice	sizeX sizeY sizeZ radius
strip	SpaceStrip	sizeX sizeY sizeZ
periodic	SpacePeriodic	sizeX sizeY sizeZ
ellipse	SpaceEllipse	sizeX sizeY sizeZ
cylinder	SpaceCylinder	half_length radius
cylinderZ	SpaceCylinderZ	half_length radius
cylinderP	SpaceCylinderP	half_length radius

Example:

set space cell
{
  geometry = sphere 5
}
