Usage Inkscape 0.9x
- run Inkscape
- optionally set the page size to 800x800px, see also Resolution / Page Size
- draw something
- execute the ILD Render plugin, found here: (ILD Render must be running in the background)
- the plugin window:
- the Flatness option describes how much bezier curves get splitted into lines, quasi the roughness of the resulting laser graphics. Lower values = more points / details
- FPS: not used at the moment (it's planned to support animations in the future)
- Hostname: the Hostname/IP of the computer with ILD Render running (it is possible to run Inkscape on another computer than ILD Render)
- see the result in ILD Render & on the laser
- adjust the settings in ILD Render if necessary
Notes
- if the outline color of paths is black, it is not visible in the laser graphics!
- only paths and rectangles are exported
- if elements disappear after exporting to ILD Render make sure to convert these with “Object to Path” in Inkscape
