def make_polar_array(obj,
number=4, angle=360, center=App.Vector(0, 0, 0),
use_link=True):
"""Create a polar array from the given object.
Parameters
----------
obj: Part::Feature
Any type of object that has a `Part::TopoShape`
that can be duplicated.
This means most 2D and 3D objects produced
with any workbench.
number: int, optional
It defaults to 4.
The number of copies produced in the circular pattern.
angle: float, optional
It defaults to 360.
The magnitude in degrees swept by the polar pattern.
center: Base::Vector3, optional
It defaults to the origin `App.Vector(0, 0, 0)`.
The vector indicating the center of rotation of the array.
use_link: bool, optional
It defaults to `True`.
If it is `True` the produced copies are not `Part::TopoShape` copies,
but rather `App::Link` objects.
The Links repeat the shape of the original `obj` exactly,
and therefore the resulting array is more memory efficient.
Also, when `use_link` is `True`, the `Fuse` property
of the resulting array does not work; the array doesn't
contain separate shapes, it only has the original shape repeated
many times, so there is nothing to fuse together.
If `use_link` is `False` the original shape is copied many times.
In this case the `Fuse` property is able to fuse
all copies into a single object, if they touch each other.
Returns
-------
Part::FeaturePython
A scripted object with `Proxy.Type='Array'`.
Its `Shape` is a compound of the copies of the original object.
