Workplane.vLineTo()

vLineTo() is a method of the Workplane class in the CADQuery library of Python. This method is used to create a vertical line from the current point using the y component of the provided point as the vertical length.

Syntax

The syntax of vLineTo() method is as follows:

Workplane.vLineTo(point)

The point parameter is a tuple or a list that contains the y coordinate of the point where the line will end.

Parameters

vLineTo() method takes one parameter, which is described below:

point

This parameter specifies the point where the line will end. It is a tuple or list containing the y coordinate of the point where the line will end.

Return Value

vLineTo() method returns an instance of the Workplane class.

Example

Here is an example that demonstrates the use of vLineTo() method:

import cadquery as cq

result = cq.Workplane("XY").lineTo(1, 1).vLineTo(2).lineTo(0, 0).close()

show_object(result)

In this example, we have created a rectangle using the lineTo() method, then we have drawn a vertical line from the current point to (0,2) using the vLineTo() method. Finally, we have closed the shape using the close() method. The object is displayed using the show_object() function.

Conclusion

vLineTo() method is a useful method for drawing vertical lines from the current point in the CADQuery library of Python.
