Svg-To-GCode Converter


svg-to-gcode is an npm package that helps in SVG file inputs into G-Code text for a plotter. It's a friendly modification of the opensource respository "exportSVGtoGCODE" by o0morgan0o, originally a Node CLI tool. You can easily incorporate this package into your frontend application.

Installation

Install the package using npm:

``bash
npm install svg-to-gcode
`

`javascript

import { Converter } from 'svg-to-gcode'

// Configuration for the plotter gcode ( the values are in mm)
const settings = {

converter.convert(data).then((gcode) => {
const file = new Blob([gcode], { type: 'text/plain' });
const link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = URL.createObjectURL(file);
link.download = 'out.gcode';
link.click();
