Detailed Description

A common interface for functions that alter a generated toolpath.

Modifiers using this interface may or may not cause additional changes on repeated use. A special interface exists for modifiers that do not cause additional changes on repeat. Since a tool path modifier, by definition, modifies a path, a ToolPaths is passed by value. The default behavior simply returns the input tool paths without change.
