GCodeGeneratorTools

The following set of tools originates from a need to generate GCode files from images that do not always contain closed loops. This would be suitable for laser cutters,drawing applications or engraving.

Couldn't find tools to suit my needs as most of them only worked with oulines as well as closed loops.

The first application generates a generic Gcode file form an image (.data format from gimp) and takses the following arguments:

gcodegenerate XPixels YPixel Xmm Ymm Inputfile OutputFile

The second application will remove signgle gcode moves i.e. sing pixels

The third application will attempt to optimise the paths. It will use the last position of the current path and then search all unprocessed paths to see which ones' start cordinate is the closest and the use that path.
