[Bf-committers] Modifier/Addon advice

[Florestan BRUNCK]

Hello everyone !


I've been trying to create a python add-on to basically do the equivalent of this java applet :

The Craig Web Experience: Penrose Tiling Applet<http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/csk/software/penrose/>
www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca
This simple applet lets you play interactively with the shapes of Penrose tiles that arise using the geometric matching conditions from Section 10.3 of Grünbaum and ...



That is : I need the addon to - as I'm moving a point in edit mode - move its associated symmetrical point to the right position. I really don't know how to change the geometry in realtime as it is manipulated by the user.


Is this is actually doable with a simple addon ? Or would this require me to create my own modifier ?


I was thinking of mimicking the mirror modifier since it's practically doing the same thing but I wanted to make sure there was no better way first.


What do you reckon would be the best way to go about it ?


Thanks for your help !
