## Horiholes
Utilities for depicting the staircase slicing of horizontal holes made with [`teardrop_plus()`](#teardrops).
[utils/horiholes.scad](utils/horiholes.scad) Implementation.
[tests/horiholes.scad](tests/horiholes.scad) Code for this example.
### Functions
| Function | Description |
|:--- |:--- |
| ```teardrop_plus_x(r, y, h)``` | Calculate the ordinate of a compensated teardrop given y. |
| ```teardrop_x(r, y)``` | Calculate the ordinate of a teardrop given y. Sweeping y from -r to + r yields the positive X half of the shape. |
### Modules
| Module | Description |
|:--- |:--- |
| ```horihole(r, z, h = 0, center = true)``` | For making horizontal holes that don't need support material and are correct dimensions |
