Space filling curves for more interesting engraving patterns

Nice.

Previously re: interpolate

Cuttle makes Score instead of Engrave pretty fast to setup

What you’re talking about is actually called “interpolate” in inkscape. It’s pretty well documented but it can sometimes introduce errors into your paths. I mean so can inset and outset which is why I like stroke to path… You just have to make sure your path is constrained enough. You can interpolate between any two paths, from one shape to another or from one size of a shape to another size of a shape and it will make intermediate steps in between. It’s not going to be as precise unless you do…

Faster Engraving Experiment

You can use offsetting in inkscape as well (called inset and outset) and you can use interpolation as well, but none of them are as accurate as stroke to path. And even then you should follow best practices for getting good results with stroke to path:

You’re using it in clever ways. I love that you’re finding interesting workflows with the extensions.
