hi pcb2gcode people,
as of trying to wrap my mind around the various offset lengths we have,
i've assembled a visualization of all the options that can reasonably
visualized. (for the outlines, i'm planning to add an option that says
how thick the outlines actually are, which used to be hardcoded to
10mil -- that's why i started drawing this.)
the image could also be helpful for cleaning up options; for example, if
my understanding is correct, there is no reason to have independent
zchange and zsafe options, while we can't express different cut-infeed
values for cutting and milldrilling (if we don't need them, do we need
zcut and zdrill?).
any comments on that? is my understanding of the options correct? (i
took everything from the man page, but as i wrote that myself it's prone
to be equally wrong.)
for the moment, i'll attach it here; it could be kept in a documentation
subdirectory of the code base later on.
regards
chrysn
