# path_extrude
It extrudes a 2D shape along a path. This module is suitable for a path created by a continuous function.
It depends on the `rotate_p` function and the `polysections` module. Remember to include "rotate_p.scad" and "polysections.scad".
When using this module, you should use points to represent the 2D shape. If your 2D shape is not solid, indexes of triangles are required. See [polysections](https://openhome.cc/eGossip/OpenSCAD/lib-polysections.html) for details.
## Parameters
- `shape_pts` : A list of points represent a shape. See the example below.
- `path_pts` : A list of points represent the path.
- `triangles` : `"SOLID"` (default), `"HOLLOW"` or user-defined indexes. See example below.
- `twist` : The number of degrees of through which the shape is extruded.
- `scale` : Scales the 2D shape by this value over the length of the extrusion. Scale can be a scalar or a vector.
- `closed` : If the first point and the last point of `path_pts` has the same coordinate, setting `closed` to `true` will connect them automatically.
