NAME
visolate - tool for engraving PCBs using CNCs
SYNOPSIS
visolate [options] [file]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the visolate command.
visolate reads the gerber files describing printed circuit boards and converts them into the G-code
(RS-274 code) needed to engrave they layout into a board using a CNC machine. Precise renditions of the
original layout can be created as well as voronoi fillings of the original layout, shortening the
toolpath.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
-a, --auto
Enable auto-mode. When in auto-mode, visolate will load the given file, follow the usual steps
(fix topology, generate toolpaths), save the toolpaths and exit afterwards.
This is primarily intended for use in scripts; be aware that visolate still needs a connected X
display and a graphics card to do its calculations.
-absolute
Use absolute coordinates (instead of relative, which is the default).
-d, --dpi DPI
Do all calculations with a resolution of the DPI parameter.
-o, --outfile OUTFILE
Set the default output location to OUTFIlE.
This is particularly useful in combination with --auto.
-x, --flip-x
Flip the input file's X coordinates (reflect across the Y axis).
-y, --flip-y
Flip the input file's Y coordinates (reflect across the X axis).
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-version
Show version of program.
