Plotter Post Processing

My application!

I’ve been slowly building out a GUI that aids in quickly and easily processing svgs for plotting. It uses Vpype to actually do the processing, but wraps many Vpype functions up in easy to use GUIs.

Why?

The main reason I created this is because I typically use a lot of the same Vpype commmands for every file, and I have defaults set so that I usually don’t have to do much of anything except to hit the “Confirm” button.

Why else?

The other reasons that have become clear over time are that Vpype is difficult to craft complex recipes by hand, and having a script that creates the code is a lot simpler in the long haul. Doing things like adding in dipping patterns becomes trivial when presented with a few simple checkbox/dropdown options.

Where?

The code can be found at my github repo. I’m still in the process of updating and improving it, and I plan to do separate blog posts for the different utilities. So keep an eye out.
