"""Write a mesh to an STL file.
Parameters
----------
filepath : str
The path to the file.
precision : str, optional
Rounding precision for the vertex coordinates.
Defaults to the value of :attr:`compas.PRECISION`.
binary : bool, optional
If True, the file will be written in binary format.
ASCII otherwise.
Returns
-------
None
Notes
-----
STL files only support triangle faces.
It is the user's responsibility to convert all faces of a mesh to triangles.
For example, with :func:`compas.datastructures.mesh_quads_to_triangles`.

Parameters
----------
filepath : str
The path to the file.
precision : str, optional
Rounding precision for the vertex coordinates.
Default is ``"3f"``.
binary : bool, optional
When ``False``, the file will be written in ASCII encoding,
when ``True``, binary. Default is ``False``.
