Examples

// Horizontal pill.

  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> line(end = [20, 0])
  |> tangentialArcToRelative([0, 10], %, $arc1)
  |> angledLine({
       angle = tangentToEnd(arc1),
       length = 20
     }, %)
  |> tangentialArcToRelative([0, -10], %)
  |> close()

pillExtrude = extrude(pillSketch, length = 10)
