QCAD code writing tool confusion

qcad 3.28 pro win10
I am writing a js script, and I find it very difficult. I usually use visual studio for work, and VS has a very good association function. Is there any similar IDE tool for writing QCAD scripts?How can you quickly find a certain class and certain information?

Is there any similar IDE tool for writing QCAD scripts?

None public that I know of.

The complete QCAD CE open source collection of tool scripts and much more:

The QCAD Application Framework:

- Operation classes: https://qcad.org/doc/qcad/3.0/developer ... tions.html
Besides that there are some key libraries in ECMAScript as for example: library.js, ShapeAlgorithms.js, ...

HI CVH Thank you for your reply, you really helped me a lot.
I am currently using the RPolygonOffset class, but include("scripts/Pro/Modify/OffsetPro/RPolygonOffset.js"); contains an error message. How should I modify it? I couldn't find any relevant information in the forum.

The RPolygonOffset() class is implemented in a different way as the older OffsetProWorker(), you don't need to included the base script.
Or you don't have to when the GUI is running and there are no references mentioned on how/what to include.

Please refer for implementations of RPolygonOffset() to:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic. ... 553#p15553

Other methods of interest when var worker = RPolygonOffset( ... ); :

• worker.addPolyline( .RPolyline. );
  worker.getWarnings();
  worker.setDisableClipping(..); =false/true
  worker.setForceInside(..); =false/true
  worker.setForceInside(..); =false/true
  worker.setForceOpen(..); =false/true
  worker.setToleranceClipping( .double. );
  worker.setToleranceJoining( .double.);

As explained, JoinType and EndType are defined in RS.h and the more direct links are:
https://www.qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/de ... e748f1f849
https://www.qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/de ... d718237a6d

In ECMAScript RS::JoinRound is written as RS.JoinRound for example.
Several different types are enumerated ... Not all types are (yet?) supported.
