G-code in sample 2 stands for below graphic:
Above are 2 samples of G-code. No matter what graphic it is, XY Plotter V2.0 can draw it if
only you can generate an available G-code file.
V.Choose Software
You can use business software to generate G-code file, like MastCAM, Artcam; or you can use
open source softwares as below.
1) InkScape+gcodetools.tar.gz Open Source vector graphics creation
software+gcodetools plug-in
2) dxf2gcode: useful for engravings
3) FreeCAD: 3D CAD design program; G-Code generation partly integrated (2011)
4) HeeksCNC: add-on for HeeksCAD; requires STEP files instead of STL; activity partly
abandonedby its main author (2011)
5) cam-occ: based on solid models instead of trimeshs (no recent releases, but
development seems to be active (2010))
6) monocam: no official releases, yet; no recent development activities (2010)
7) camvox: no official releases, yet; no recent development activities (2010)
8) gcnccam: uses DXF as input; quite active
9) CNC Code Generator: java-based, recently not very active (2010)
10) GCAM: DXF or GERBER input; sparse documentation
