Well, that sounds like you are doing abstraction of the G-code. That is exactly what gcmc does (G-Code Meta Compiler: http://www.vagrearg.org/content/gcmc). Only it is encapsulated as a complete stand-alone language and generates G-code (or svg/dxf). Gcmc uses vectors and vectorlists to describe the tool-paths. They are manipulated a rich set of standard math primitives. The language is documented and there are a set of examples to see its operation. (this is also blatant self-advertising... I am the author of gcmc) -- Greetings Bertho (disclaimers are disclaimed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
