A Mirror tool reflects across the boundary it shares with the primary's zone, and
which boundary that is depends on where the tool sits:
- Same gantry: the tools are side by side along X, so the shared boundary is
vertical and the reflection negates X. This is what single-gantry IDEX does,
and it was the only case the code modelled.
- Different gantry: the zones are stacked along Y (front strip vs rear strip),
so the shared boundary is horizontal and the reflection negates Y. The part
that comes off gantry 1 is a Y-reflection of the tool directly behind it.
imex_head_transform() hardcoded diag(-1, 1, 1) for every mirror, as its own TODO
acknowledged. Lift the axis to a caller-supplied ImexMirrorAxis; PartPlate picks it
from the tool's gantry row. Both reflections keep det = -1, so a mirrored part stays
a true mirror image rather than a 180-degree rotation, which would print the
primary's part merely turned around.
The correct axis removes two workarounds. Both ghost paths special-cased aggregated
mirrors to "drop the X reflection, translate 1:1 and bake the flip into the mesh"
because reflecting X pushed the ghost off-bed as the primary was dragged. With a Y
reflection the X translation is already zero for aggregated tools, so that falls out
for free and the special cases are deleted.
Preview markers follow the same rule, which also fixes two placement bugs:
- Mirrors reflected across a Copy tool's zone edge, falling back to the primary's
column when a row had no Copy. In iq-mirror (0:P,1:C,2:M,3:M) the front row has
no Copy, so t2 and t3 both fell back and computed the identical X — both drawn
on top of each other in t3's zone. A mirror now reflects within its own zone.
- The toolhead footprint box flipped to the far side of the nozzle for any mirror
right of the primary. That only holds for an X-axis mirror, which reverses the
carriage's orientation; a cross-gantry mirror keeps the X orientation of the
tool behind it, so its box stays on the same side.
Tests cover the cross-gantry and diagonal cases, that the axis is caller-supplied
rather than inferred from the offset vector, and that both axes are reflections
(det = -1) rather than rotations.
