# RasterCarve: Generate G-code to engrave raster images
This is a little Python script I wrote to generate 3-axis toolpaths to
engrave raster images.
## Installation
`pip install rastercarve`
## Usage
```
usage: rastercarve [-h] (--width WIDTH | --height HEIGHT) [-f FEED_RATE]
[-p PLUNGE_RATE] [--rapid RAPID_RATE] [-z SAFE_Z]
[--end-z TRAVERSE_Z] [-d MAX_DEPTH] [-t TOOL_ANGLE]
[-a LINE_ANGLE] [-s STEPOVER] [-r LINEAR_RESOLUTION]
[--no-line-numbers] [--debug] [-q] [--version]
filename
Generate G-code to engrave raster images.
positional arguments:
filename input image (any OpenCV-supported format)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--debug print debug messages
-q disable progress and statistics
--version show program's version number and exit
output dimensions:
Exactly one required.
--width WIDTH output width (in)
--height HEIGHT output height (in)
machine configuration:
-f FEED_RATE engraving feed rate (in/min) (default: 100)
-p PLUNGE_RATE engraving plunge rate (in/min) (default: 30)
--rapid RAPID_RATE rapid traverse rate (for time estimation only)
(default: 240)
-z SAFE_Z rapid Z traverse height (in) (default: 0.1)
--end-z TRAVERSE_Z Z height of final traverse (in) (default: 2)
-d MAX_DEPTH maximum engraving depth (in) (default: 0.08)
-t TOOL_ANGLE included angle of tool (deg) (default: 30)
engraving parameters:
-a LINE_ANGLE angle of grooves from horizontal (deg) (default: 22.5)
-s STEPOVER stepover percentage (affects spacing between lines)
(default: 110)
-r LINEAR_RESOLUTION distance between successive G-code points (in)
(default: 0.01)
G-code parameters:
--no-line-numbers suppress G-code line numbers (dangerous on ShopBot!)
Defaults are usually safe to leave unchanged.
```
### Examples
```
rastercarve --width 10 examples/test.png > out.nc
```
Generate G-code to engrave `examples/test.png` into an image 10 inches
wide. Output will be piped from stdout to `out.nc`.
