This would be really great. I use LinuxCNC to control a cartesian painting
machine with a tangential brush and the ability to manually 'jog' or
'scroll' through a stroke would be an amazing feature. It would allow very
fine manual control of the feed rate as the tool (in this case a brush)
moves over its programmed path.
The current motion planner has some frustrating aspects. For example, even
when lines and arcs have tangential continuity the tool (brush) often
inexplicably stops or slows way down at line->arc transitions which can
cause unwanted artifacts in the painted line.
I would like to help out to improve the motion planner if I can. My math
skills are pretty crappy though...
