Linux equivalent to NCPlot

There was definitely some sheepishness in that confession of mine. I probably have more years of Linux experience under my belt than MacOS, but with age one gets more enamored with the pampering of the likes of MacOS X. I rationalize it knowing I can always get a bash terminal. That still counts, right?

One are that can be miserable is dealing with Python on MacOS X. The Apple provided default install is always behind and broken, yet getting it from macports invariably ends up in some compile error or PYTHONPATH inconsistency. It would be really nice to be able to get enough of EMC compiled to be able to run a script like Dan's, connecting remotely to the Linux EMC host.

You probably want to check out CNC Macro Simulator II.

It's device agnostic and only requires a browser to run. I use it on my mac all the time.

It's definitely worth it. The developer is responsive and has made successive suggested changes to the software.

how many people want something like this?
i could build a small pyqt-gui that generates a small gcode preview using the 'rs274' tool.
but i already have a console tool that converts gcode to svg.
