Name	Syntax	Description
addpoint	slicelayer:addpoint(x:Number, y:Number)	Adds the first, next, or last point in a polyline forming an open or closed contour. Overall clock-handedness determines whether a closed polyline forms an inner or outer contour: Clockwise draw forms an inner, anti-clockwise draw forms an outer contour. Avoid self-intersections (eg. figure-of-eight) as they may lead to unexpected results.
begincontour	slicelayer:begincontour()	Begins a new contour. Must precede the first `slicelayer:addpoint()` call per individual contour. Mandatory per new polyline.
endcontour	slicelayer:endcontour()	Closes the contour from the last-added point to the first one after the last `begincontour()` call by adding another point with the coordinates of the first point of the current contour. Optional; omit for creating open-ended polylines (open contours).
extractcontour	newslicelayer = slicelayer:extractcontour(n:Number)	Copies the `n`-th contour of a Slicelayer object into a new Slicelayer object
move	slicelayer:move(x:Number, y:Number)	Translates all points (and the contours they form) in this slice layer
getpointcount	slicelayer:getpointcount(n:number)	Returns the count of points in the `n`-th contour created in this slice layer
getpointx	slicelayer:getpointx(m:Number, n:Number)	Get X coordinate of `n`-th point of `m`-th contour
getpointy	slicelayer:getpointy(m:Number, n:Number)	Get Y coordinate of `n`-th point of `m`-th contour
sort	slicelayer:sort(x:Number, y:Number)
