example on how to read lines from a file

[aristonous]

Is it possible to add examples on how to read lines from a dxf file I can not make it work

[neekfenwick]

It should be as simple as something like:

$file = 'some-file.dxf';
$dxf = new \DXFighter\DXFighter($file);

What have you tried, and in what way isn't it working?

That's how to open the file, However i am taking about getting the coordinates of the lines from the file.

@aristonous ah when you said 'read lines' I thought you meant to read the lines of data from the file. Please be specific and use suitable formatting.

From the look of the code, you want to get a DXFighter\lib\Line object from the Entities array and access it's start or end properties. e.g.

use DXFighter\DXFighter;
$dxf = new DXFighter('some-file.dxf');
echo "Loaded OK.\n";

$entities = $dxf->getEntities();
$line = $entities[0];
$end = $line->getEnd();
echo "Saw line to {$end[0]},{$end[1]},{$end[2]}\n";

My copy of the library is old and doesn't have the getEnd() function in the Line class.. I must update some time :)

If you have a decent debugger and read the code in the library it's fairly clear what to do.

Does that help?

@neekfenwick yes indeed it works very well. Thanks
