New API doc - typos and questions
-
Noticed in another thread that there seem to be some deviation related to
send_action. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=16751&start=15#p135201@unknownuser said:
"selectCameraOrbitTool:" doesnt work.
It's action name is simply OrbitTool.Seems to be a couple more as well.

Hello everyone,
Yes, we just launched some new docs for the Ruby API on the code site. These are the most accurate and up to date documentation we have ever had, and we hope that they are useful. (That being said, there is obviously still room for improvement.)
Thanks Scott!

Under the UI Classes section:
Tool, Toolbar and Webdialog all links to the Array class: http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/array.html -
A bunch of fixes got pushed on Friday. Thanks again to folks who found typos, both from this thread and from the wiki documentation. Keep 'em coming!
I'm on vacation for the next week, so don't think I'm ignoring anyone if I don't reply for a few days. Thanks, guys!

Thanks Scott.
I'm still puzzled about the six arguments for
Vector3d.linear_combination.vec = Geom;;Vector3d.linear_combination(x, xaxis, y, yaxis, z, zaxis)How does this really work?
-
Not to mention that the example at the bottom of the method does not actually include the method of linear combination. It only shows:
vector1 = Geom;;Vector3d.new 1,0,0 vector2 = Geom;;Vector3d.new 0,1,0 -
PolygonMesh.add_polygon
The example shows how to use the add_point method.

Wish we had red pens to scribble on the docs.

Great idea, really. I'm sure there are browser plugins that allow social sharing of sticky notes, or comments on web pages.
-
Oh, yea... at least for Firefox. I mean to remember something like that.

Could this be something? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2792
Anyone tried it? Or got better solutions? -
Point3d.project_to_plane:
http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/point3d.html#project_to_line
Shows the wrong example code (uses from project to line). and I know I gave the link for project_to_line. Its so you can see both methods simultaneously and see the error better. Thanks!

So far I am really truly enjoying the new docs. They feel much better, thanks for the efforts to get them to where they are. I'm also excited that changes might be able to happen faster now too, that is great.
I'm noticing that sometimes in the methods list, when I click on a method, it takes me to the class index for that method. Other times it willtake me directly to the entry for that method within the class. I prefer the latter. But I don't know why sometimes it does one thing and sometimes it does another,

It doesn't mention how to allow drop-down options by using a third array with strings separating each option with a pipe | character.
-
You can do a dropdown box?
-
UI.inputbox ['Hello'], ['World'], ['Mars|Pluto|World|Monkeys'], 'Title'"Global Material Changer" and "Component Spray" uses it. That's the only way I knew it was possible.

Sure, and I made this to ease the pain a little: http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2008/03/inputbox-class.html

Nice one Jim.

http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/point3d.html#z=
It says:
Point3d.z= The y= method is used to set the z value of a 3D point.That second line should say "The z= method..."
-
Face.areaactually takes an optional argument. I'm not sure what the argument is. It accepts pure numbers which then seems to be a scale factor. But it also acceptsTransformationobjects.
