About

A Python-based path generator for a DIY delta pen plotter. Converts images into optimized drawing paths using contour tracing, offsets, fills, amplitude-modulated lines, and more. Uses a layer-based workflow for complex drawings, NC-code output, and XML project files for easy saving and editing.

### Delta Plotter Path Generator software workflow ###

1) Select a project folder. If want to work on previously created drawing project select an existing project folder. If you want to start a new project instead create a new project folder. In this folder an XML save file will be created.

2) Place input images or SVGs in the project folder.

3) Browse in input image for your first laser.

4) Select path generation mode.

5) Set parameters. Pen slot number for layer, feed rate, and other path generation mode specific options.

6) Click Save XML & Update View button.

7) This will generate an output.nc file in your project folder.

8) Open the output.nc file in your g-code/NC code sender and visually verify. I recommend using gSender.

9) Run path from your g-code/NC code sender.
