No AI was used anywhere in the creation of this software. This is artisanal free-range developer built software. It takes care of the plumbing so that YOU (a human, honest) can make art.

Bot-a-Plot is a GCode generator/sender and post-processor that turns SVG/PGF files into toolpaths for pen-plotting. It supports GRBL dialects of GCode, and allows you to customize your post processor depending on how your machine is configured. Virtual and real toolchanges are supported for multiple pens.
Current release is 0.4.x, which will eventually become 1.0 after a bit more testing.
