Hey everyone,

I'm completely new to Perl along with this related open source program. If my question isn't appropriate, will delete immediately. The question I'm asking is what exactly is this function or import used for:

use Slic3r::Geometry::Clipper qw(offset diff union union_ex intersecti
+on offset_ex offset2 intersection_pl offset2_ex diff_pl diff_ex);

[download]

Originally I thought this was a pathway since my goal is to see how the intersection, union, etc works and then can be changed. However searching through the git:

https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/search?p=2&q=intersection&unscoped_q=intersection

I can't seem to find it, or perhaps I'm not looking correctly? The answers I have received previously or the ones I have found, haven't shown me indication of how I could modify these functions.

https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/blob/master/xs/xsp/Clipper.xsp

Any help would be great, thanks.
