## SVG to Gcode converter for GRBL pen plotter
Forked from [vishpat/svg2gcode[(https://github.com/vishpat/svg2gcode)

I found that the plugins for inkscape and illustrator would crash when I tried to convert SVG's with many thousands of lines to gcode.
So I modified this to generate gcode for GRBL based pen plotter
**Usage as cli:**
_python convert.py source.svg destination.gcode_
>python convert.py source.svg destination.gcode
**or in bash**
_copy 's2g' to your path and run from anywhere_

>s2g source.svg target.gcode
**There is a brute force path optimisator algarithm. Very slow for large files, can be disabled in config.py**

* zDraw should be the heiggit at which the pen will make contact with the paper
