Hi Scott!
I enjoy your fantastic code with my Polargraph machine. :)
This is the best conversion from jpeg to gcode, I have ever used!!!

My question is:
Do you know, how can I change the default decimal separator character in Processing 3?
My local character is "," instead of "." and it is a problem in GCODE.

Other question:
What is your suggestion, if I want to use 0.8mm pen? Which parameters should be changed?
Thx: Peter

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing program! I am having an issue with the generated Gcode file. the test images all show up normal but the gcode file is flipped and the orgin is being created at the top of the image. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

Hi, where the gcode file was saved?
i don't understand the procedure to save gcode!
Have a nice day Man!

Hi

Congratulations for this software is Great. Can you explain me how get the pen of each colors?, i.e, Hoy I can draw the different color with commercial pen?

Thanks your very much for your response

I use processing-3.3.4 to test and it seems like there is a hardcoded w/h ratio in the process. All images are centered and cropped with 4:3 ratio (or so, I don't know). Also all images I tried, even some of your included sample images in the pics folder, are rotated 90° CCW. It is easily fixed with the rotation feature you provided, but this only applied to the onscreen render. The generated pdf file is still has incrrect orientation. I don't know if the images from g-code would have correct orientation as I don't work with g-code. I don't have programms that render g-code to image.
Here is an image to show you the cropped result, left and right parts of the original image was cut off:

Thanks for your work :)

Hi, the Gcode generator used here, does it exist separately? I would like to be able to use it for svg created outside of d2s.

First time trying to run this and I get this error:

Cannot find a class or type named “Limit”
Not sure what to do now?

If there is a step I'm missing I'd love to know.
I'm using a Mac with Catalina and running Processing app 3.5.4.

I am able to run "Drawbot_image_to_gcode_v2" and upload a .png file. I can see the image getting created on the display window. After pressing "g", multiple .txt , .svg and pdf files are created in the gcode folder. But, there is no .txt file that corresponds to the gcode of the complete image (that is uploded).

I want one gcode file which corresponds to the complete image.
I am using processing 3.5.4. Attached are the files for the reference.

Any help is appreciated

keybind are incorrectly described in readme,
ctrl + number = Display drawing, pen number only

I had a problem to import gcode on polargraph controller, to solve i delete everything above the first z0 in gcode and everything below the last z0, perfect import .

When scrolling through the different pen sets, when going back to the first, if you press one more time, the program ends with a "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:-1

Guess the culprit is the "render_with_copic" routine

Regards,

Great piece of software!!!!
I have a couple of doubts on the use of pens. By default there is certain list of pens or pens combinations hardcoded in the software. The program just uses this pen combinations to make the final drawing.

Do the colors present in each combination try to represent the colors in the actual image?
Is there a way to setup a cmyk pen combination? Just the 4 colors, but so that each pen draws the correponding color in the original image? Like making the color separation of the image and drawing it in only the corresponding color.

Once again great software. Keep it up. Ive learned tons of Processing trying to interpret it.

Hello, I really like the style of your generated graphics. Really great work! Now I would like to print it with a penplotter. Can you please provide a function to save the graphics as a svg or dxf, so one can do whatever one wants with the graphic, like plotting it with InkScape (HPGL extension in InkScape). I would try to implement it myself in a fork, but I've never programmed Processing before.
Thank you in advance!

How does it start in Processing? In what directory, what files should be placed?
All ok.....
Fantastically beautiful work! While I can not open the created files.
SVG 6Mb, but inkscape freezes. I will read and try. Thank you for the great and useful work.
