Python plot.py incorrect output with included sample file #169

Closed swissraul closed 8 months ago

swissraul commented 8 months ago

I've version 3.9.6 of the AxiDraw API and trying to print the included test/assets/Axidraw_trivial.svg file using plot.py located at: examples_py_axisdraw/plot.py as is. The plot does not match the expected output where the pen does not seem to move up and the output is contiguous (i.e the pen stays down for the entire duration of the plot). Perhaps I'm missing some configuration, please advise.

I haven't heard any other reports of something like this, and I'm not in front of an AxiDraw to test right now.

Would you please:

Let me know which model of AxiDraw and what hardware configuration you have?
Check to see if things are working through Inkscape, to see if your issue is specific to the Python API
Check to see if you can successfully toggle the pen up and down with one of the scripts?
Let me know if you are having issues on other scripts, or just this one?

Looks like it was my bad, after changing the "penlift" option to "3" from "1", it seems to be working fine now. Apologies for the false alarm.
