How can I use "Clip to Rectangle" in a script

[machinekoder]

How can I use the "Clip to Rectangle" feature (https://qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/refere ... le_en.html) in a script?

Alternatively, the dwg2maptiles cli tool would be very close to what I want to implement. Is the source code available somewhere?

Thanks,
Alex

EDIT: QCAD Pro 3.23.0.0 (3.23.0)

To use the clip tool from script, you'd have to create the tool action, set the variables that are usually set interactively and then get the operation and run it. You can try all this in the QCAD script shell (Misc > Development > Script Shell). Make sure that there are entities in that area and that they are selected.

Code: Select all

// include tool:
include("scripts/Pro/Modify/ClipToRectangle/ClipToRectangle.js");

var di = getDocumentInterface();

// create and initialize tool:
var a = new ClipToRectangle();
a.setDocumentInterface(di);
a.corner1 = new RVector(10,10);
a.corner2 = new RVector(100,20);
a.mode = ClipToRectangle.Mode.Clip;  // or Clear or Cut

// run operation on current document:
var op = a.getOperation(false);
di.applyOperation(op);

Thanks. This works excellent.
