Examples

// Horizontal pill.
pillSketch = startSketchOn('XZ')
  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> line([20, 0], %)
  |> tangentialArcToRelative([0, 10], %, $arc1)
  |> angledLine({
       angle = tangentToEnd(arc1),
       length = 20
     }, %)
  |> tangentialArcToRelative([0, -10], %)
  |> close(%)

pillExtrude = extrude(10, pillSketch)

// Vertical pill.  Use absolute coordinate for arc.
pillSketch = startSketchOn('XZ')
  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> line([0, 20], %)
  |> tangentialArcTo([10, 20], %, $arc1)
  |> angledLine({
       angle = tangentToEnd(arc1),
       length = 20
     }, %)
  |> tangentialArcToRelative([-10, 0], %)
  |> close(%)
