OpenSCAD ASCII to decimal number function by jesse

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

This library includes a function to convert Strings into floating point numbers. It's useful if you are generating OpenSCAD files using a customizer program and want to put user HTTP form data directly into the file.
For example, using atof("%size%") in the template file could get replaced with atof("60.5") which returns 60.5 as a number. The atof("%size%") placeholder still allows the OpenSCAD document to pass compilation which helps with debugging.
