// array functions

//
// this lib provides 2 functions
// Cubic_Array() , and Radial_Array()
//
//Cubic_Array(sx,sy,sz,nx,ny,nz,center){childobject}
// produces a cubic grid of child objects
// sx,sy,sz = spacing for each axis
// nx,ny,nz and number of objects on each axis
// center = true/false on if geometery is centered or not
//
//
//Radial_Array(a,n,r){child object}
// produces a clockwise radial array of child objects rotated around the local z axis
// a= interval angle
// n= number of objects
// r= radius distance
