3.3. Convert SVG graphic into LMD excision instructions

With a couple of lines of code we can easily convert a SVG file into cutting instructions for the LMD microscope.

[2]:

#define file path to simple SVG we want to excise
file_path = "../../_static/pyLMD_text.svg"

#define 3 times the same calibration point
calibration_points = [(0, 0), (40000, 0 ), (40000, - 20000)]

#initalize collection and add points for SVG
my_collection = Collection(calibration_points = calibration_points)
my_collection.svg_to_lmd(file_path)
