Approximation tolerance does not work #14

Closed thomaskole closed 3 years ago

thomaskole commented 3 years ago

The readme hints at a TOLERANCES['approximation'] variable to tweak the output detail of the gcode. It doesn't seem to work, I'm getting the exact same output no matter the setting. My test SVG is about A4 in size (mm), and I'm getting multiple steps per mm of travel.

Thanks in advance

Interesting, could you attach the problematic SVG file?

thomaskole commented 3 years ago

I'm a bit embarrassed. The one SVG I decide to test happens to be very complex, with many, many points. I'll attach it.

After simplifying the shape, I had better luck.

I think it would be interesting if the software handled subdivided edges as well. I tried a single edge subdivided into many small segments, and it put out many points, rather than just two.
