DmplBuilder eases the process of creating DM/PL command instructions used for hardware pen plotters and cutters. Read more about the specific commands in this very modern manual by Summa.
Via Composer
$ composer require nielsiano/dmpl-builder
The following versions of PHP are supported by this version.
- PHP 7.0
DmplBuilder uses a fluent interface to chain all commands and plots before compiling the final instructions.
$builder = new Nielsiano\DmplBuilder();
$builder->penUp()
->plot(200, 200)
->penDown()
->velocity(100)
->flexCut()
->plot(0, 1400)
->plot(1900, 0)
->plot(0, -1400)
->plot(-1900, 0)
->penUp()
->cutOff();
return $builder->compile();
Sending the generated DM/PL instructions to your plotter through USB can be done like so:
echo ';: ECM,U H L0,P0;A100,100,V10;BP50;D,0,1400,1900,0,e' > /dev/usb/lp0
Available methods at the moment:
$builder->penUp()
$builder->cutOff()
$builder->penDown()
$builder->flexCut()
$builder->flipAxes()
$builder->regularCut()
$builder->changePen(int $pen)
$builder->plot(int $x, int $y)
$builder->compile(): string
$builder->setMeasuringUnit($unit)
$builder->velocity(int $velocity)
$builder->pressure(int $gramPressure)
$builder->pushCommand(string $command)
