It’s 7.21.0, which I think I got in September or so. I do see Turtle in the code but not in ImageManipulator.

Arg.. Won’t let me edit..

That last line of code should be..

		if (!wasTravelling)
			out.write(command);

It seems to be working fine without that but this is the correct way.

Related, on Spiral with SpiralToCorners set, a *huge* number of G01 travel moves are generated.

I think this is a problem in the spiral code math generating a lot of moves off the paper but I didn’t update that. Instead, I changed MakelangeloRobotSettings.java to filter out a series of G01 move commands to only send the last one to the gcode. I’m not sure this is the right place for such a thing – maybe it should go in the FW instead? – but it was easiest and fixes the problem for all styles.

On the file I’m trying to draw, this removed about 17k lines from the gcode and changed it from 5 hours to just over 1 hour. It hasn’t finished drawing yet but is looking really good so far.

	private boolean wasTravelling;
	private String lastTravel;

	private void write(Writer out, String command) throws IOException {
		write (out, command, false);
	}

	private void write(Writer out, String command, boolean isTravel) throws IOException {

		if (isTravel) {
			wasTravelling = true;
			lastTravel = command;
		}
		else if (wasTravelling) {
			if (lastTravel != null)
				out.write(lastTravel);

			wasTravelling = false;
			lastTravel = null;
		}

		if (!isTravel)
			out.write(command);
	}

edit: wait.. that last if can’t be write.. ?

That plus changing all the lines that say “out.write(” to be “write(out,” and writeMoveTo to include isUp.
