Hey everyone! I’m new here, but have been playing with my laser engraver for a while. I was making my own gcode software when I discovered Laser Web. Now I can’t see any reason to continue my project. 
The only problem im having is that closed loops don’t seem to close when converted to gcode. For example, a box results in a side missing(Three lines). This is an issue when dealing with complex geometries. Anyone have advice for dealing with this?
I have it set to use S255 while drawing and not when moving.
I’m am amateur developer. I code as a hobby. I had made a raster app for Windows but had failed miserably at converting vectors. The biggest issue was parsing svg correctly and dealing with all the various formatting.
I’m running custom grbl on an arduino nano with a laser shield from BangGood.
+Peter van der Walt I have no idea how JS works lol but would it be possible to just do the reverse of tracing a bitmap into vector ? it seems that you would display the vector art then convert to bitmap then it would raster fine. I have no idea if that makes sense or is even possible. but you are in fact doing the opposite already somehow.
+Peter van der Walt I’m not sure if I’m doing anything special in my code but I wouldn’t mind sharing what I did for rastering if you’d like. You can see some pictures I took of my raster results at: http://www.flickr.com/CidVilas
As a graphic artist as well, I have no issues converting a vector into a raster using a different tool. (meaning I do not mind doing that) However having a raster be able to turn into Vector within the LaserWeb tool is handy. and works pretty good from what I have tried.
is there a huge request to have Vector able to be rastered within this tool ? seems the opposite would be more in demand. and is already in place
