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.
Install the package using npm:
npm install svg-to-gcodeOr, use a script tag :
<script src="https://unpkg.com/svg-to-gcode@^1.0.0/dist/svg-to-gcode.js"></script>
<script>
// Configuration for the plotter gcode
let settings = {
zOffset : 3,
feedRate : 1500,
seekRate : 1200
}
// For using the default configuration , skip the settings
const converter = SvgToGcode(settings)
converter.convert(svgString).then((gcode) => {
// Manipulate the recieved gcode
console.log(gcode)
})
</script>import { Converter } from 'svg-to-gcode'
// Set the configuration for the Plotter
const settings = {
zOffset : 3,
feedRate : 1600,
seekRate : 1300,
}
// For using the default configuration , skip the settings
const converter = new Converter(settings)
// You can download the generated gCode using this code
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();
URL.revokeObjectURL(link.href);
})
