-g option is not documented #17

This page lists a '-g' option but does not document what valid settings are or how to choose the correct one for your machine.

Hmmm, the usage() info and the README.md states

  1. That it's an option with no arguments. That's the "gpx [-dgiprsvw]" in the usage output.
  2. That -g Makerbot/ReplicatorG GCODE flavor

and thus specifying -g means that you are using Makerbot-style gcode. (Which is different from RepRap style gcode.)

Admittedly, if you're not used to Unix-style documentation, that's not immediately obvious and may seem a bit impenetrable. But for folks more used to Unix utilities, that is what is documented. (And it's accurate as well.)
