CAM Engineering and Operation
=============================

Cameo is a collection of CAM tools that convert between various file
formats and adapt the toolpath.

This is a work in progress. The plan is to integrate all the utilities
currently floating around in
http://svn.openmoko.org/developers/werner/cncmap/
into a single program and to better share common functionality.

Toolpath adaptation language
----------------------------

Loading paths:

  gerber <diameter> [<filename>]
  gnuplot <diameter> [<filename>]
  clear

"gerber" and "gnuplot" each add paths from a file to the list of paths
already loaded. "clear" removes all paths.

If the a file name is omitted, standard input is read. The diameter is
the default tool diameter.

Note that "clear" preserves the translation set with "align", "array",
and "translate". This way, multiple files can be processed with the same
translation.

File output:

  write [<filename>]

Writes all loaded paths in gnuplot format to the specified file. If the
file name is omitted, "write" writes to standard output.

Units:

  mm
  mil
  <number>mm
  <number>mil

The words "mm" and "mil" set the input to the specified unit. The
default unit is millimeter. If a number is followed by "mm" or "mil"
without intervening space, the unit is overridden for this number,
without affecting the default input unit.

Note that "mm" and "mil" only affect dimensions in the command file
and have no effect on the interpretation of toolpath files.


Horizontal adjustments:

  align <ref> <x> <y>
  align <ref> <x0> <y0> <x1> <y1>
  array <x-step> <y-step> <x-index> <y-index>
  translate <X> <y>
  reset

Vertical adjustment:

  z [<z0>] <z0-depth>
  
Tool compensation:

  tool
