Installation

Meta Comments

Gsim can be annotated with addition information about the job with meta attribute comments. The format is simply (key=value key2=value2).

(tooldiameter=0.5)
G0 X1
G0 Y1
...

My hope is that other generators and simulators will adopt this convention and collaborate towards a standard.

Currently tooldiameter is the only attribute.
