This causes the Centerline vector to deform. and have recently moved it to Inkscape.Įssentially a centerline style vector has the node or vertex Z values adjusted based on the colours in the bitmap. If you take a look at the images below you can see the 'manual' version of this process. but I'm thinking more of toolpaths for V-carving or intaglio. which is why I'm asking this here.Īny help / info would be much appreciated I don't know much about XML or how it's manipulation as data is applied to. ? Would you be interested in investigating this further ? I think this has some very interesting possibilities. and the path boundary + fill and stroke in the. based on a maximum Z value (entered by the user). I think this could work in a similar way to the method gcodetools uses to make area paths. It seems to me that the data is already there IN inkscape.

the actual displacement and translation to gcode is performed outside of inkscape in gmax. with an inkscape generated gradient to create intaglio or v-carving toolpaths.

I can displace an inkscape generated vector. Mesh surfaces like those in my downlad area at homepage. I've been using inkscape to generate vector heightmaps for relief generation and toolpathing. If the variance is no greater than this example it's no problem. 0125mm difference caused by rounding in inkscape ? To add your own header create file 'header' in the output dir.)
