Hello all, I just uploaded a new version (0.0.2) of the gcode effect extension for inkscape to http://dp.jstenback.com/gcode/. This new version fixes a bunch of random things to make it easier to use (deal with grouped objects, applies the effect to the whole document if nothing is selected, etc), and also adds support for more drawing primitives, namely lines and rects, as opposed to only paths.
But more importantly, the extension now generates biarcs for curved paths that stay within a given distance from the original path. It does this by comparing the distance from the center of the created arcs to the mid points of the halves of the path section that the arcs represent, and if the difference is bigger than a set limit (hard coded to 0.0005 now) it splits the path and repeats until the arcs stay within the limit. I'm making no claims as to how "correct" that is, but based on my experimentation here it seems to work very very well. I'd love to hear back on this if people find it useful. Thanks. -- jst ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
