- automatically rasterize svg to generate fill pattern
- build and deploy binaries to github
- diagonal fill pattern
- handle patterns with a radius greater than 90 degrees
- handle closepath command
- translate SVG origin to plotter origin (top left to bottom left)
- handle deep group nesting
- handle transform and matrix
- add line, rectangle, ellipse, circle support
- save latest options into file, by svg name for future use
- alter options via cmd line if needed (kind of templating)
- cmd line param > file param
- alter options via cmd line if needed (kind of templating)
- think about pen change
As the name suggest this tool generates g-code for our xy-plotter directly from an SVG file with the following features:
- use a servo motor to handle the pen
- use simple non feeding motion g-codes
- support lines, circles, radis, filled shapes
- simple optimisation
DISCLAIMER Beware that this is a specialized tool written for our xy-plotter. Feel free none the less to fork this repo and adopt it to your needs or try reaching out to us for support.
Meaning this tool is not meant as a general purpose solution to generate g-code out of svg files.
NAME:
stg - Generates GCode from SVG
USAGE:
main [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]
COMMANDS:
help, h Shows a list of commands or help for one command
GLOBAL OPTIONS:
--svg value Path to the SVG file to generate GCode from.
--out value Path to the output GCode file. If not specified a .gcode file with the same name is created in the same folder.
--penUp value Sets the angle for the pen servo of the pen UP state. (default: 150)
--penDown value Sets the angle for the pen servo of the pen DOWN state. (default: 30)
--curveSpeed value Divisor to normalize the speed of curves. (default: 3000)
--linearSpeed value Flat feed value for linear move commands. (default: 4000)
--gap value Gap between fill lines. (default: 10)
--threshold value Minimum line length for fill pattern. (default: 4)
--dpi value DPI of the rasterized SVG image. Used to calculate the fill pattern. (default: 96)
--inkscape value The path to a inkscape commandline binary version >= 1.x
--fill value Defines the fill pattern via 'degrees,red,green,blue' with the color values in standard 0-255. If not specified no fill data is generated.
--help, -h show help (default: false)
