Brief description

Fortran code for reading and writing STL (STereoLithography) files.

Status

Example

  program main

  use,intrinsic :: iso_fortran_env, only: wp => real64
  use stl_module

  implicit none

  type(stl_file) :: model
  integer :: istat !! status return code

  ! add a sphere:
  call model%add_sphere([0.0_wp, 0.0_wp, 0.0_wp], 1.0_wp, 20, 40)
  call model%write_binary_stl_file('sphere.stl',istat)

  end program main

Compiling

A Fortran Package Manager manifest file is included, so that the library and test cases can be compiled with FPM. For example:

fpm build --profile release
fpm test --profile release

To use stl-fortran within your fpm project, add the following to your fpm.toml file:

[dependencies]
stl-fortran = { git="https://github.com/jacobwilliams/stl-fortran.git" }

To generate the documentation using FORD, run: ford stl-fortran.md

License

The stl-fortran source code and related files and documentation are distributed under a permissive free software license (BSD-style).
