Skew operator for OpenSCAD

skew.scad

/*skew takes an array of six angles:
 *x along y
 *x along z
 *y along x
 *y along z
 *z along x
 *z along y
 */
module skew(dims) {
matrix = [
	[ 1, dims[0]/45, dims[1]/45, 0 ],
	[ dims[2]/45, 1, dims[4]/45, 0 ],
	[ dims[5]/45, dims[3]/45, 1, 0 ],
	[ 0, 0, 0, 1 ]
];
multmatrix(matrix)
children();
}

skew([45, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
cube([10,10,10]);

It should be tan(dims[0]) instead of dims[0]/45, and so on for all the others.

/*skew takes an array of six angles:
 *x along y
 *x along z
 *y along x
 *y along z
 *z along x
 *z along y
 */
module skew(dims) {
matrix = [
	[ 1, tan(dims[0]), tan(dims[1]), 0 ],
	[ tan(dims[2]), 1, tan(dims[3]), 0 ],
	[ tan(dims[4]), tan(dims[5]), 1, 0 ],
	[ 0, 0, 0, 1 ]
];
multmatrix(matrix)
children();
}

Thanks for this module. Saved me the hassle of figuring out the correct Matrix.
Thanks to dguerizec and ziggy90127 for correcting the matrix formula and posting the complete solution.

Thank you, works wonderfully (only tried the corrected version from the comment). I've changed the interface a bit to make it easier to use:

// Skews the child geometry.
// xy: Angle towards X along Y axis.
// xz: Angle towards X along Z axis.
// yx: Angle towards Y along X axis.
// yz: Angle towards Y along Z axis.
// zx: Angle towards Z along X axis.
// zy: Angle towards Z along Y axis.
module skew(xy = 0, xz = 0, yx = 0, yz = 0, zx = 0, zy = 0) {
	matrix = [
		[ 1, tan(xy), tan(xz), 0 ],
		[ tan(yx), 1, tan(yz), 0 ],
		[ tan(zx), tan(zy), 1, 0 ],
		[ 0, 0, 0, 1 ]
	];
	multmatrix(matrix)
	children();
}

Example:

skew(xz = 20, yx = 40)
cube([5, 5, 10]);
