change path color for different spindle speeds? #184

Similar to request #176, would it be possible to add the ability to alter the tool path color for areas where the spindle speed has changed? I use CAMotics to verify my gcode patterns before sending them to my laser engraver, which uses spindle speed to alter the intensity of the laser. When I preview images generated from a raster source, the toolpath moves along the entire area, line by line, producing a solid-green display in camotics. You can only tell the spindle speed has changed by watching the right-side spindle-speed readout, which makes it difficult to visualize the final product via the camotics screen.

That's a good idea and not too difficult to implement.

This is implemented in the new v1.2.0 release.
