Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC backplot

The backplotting function of EMC is coded entirely in Tcl/Tk using some Tcl
extensions to access the data being produced by EMC. Whilst there is a port
of Tcl/Tk for Windows (and Mac), and the EMC GUI will run on a Windows box,
it would still require a functioning EMC system to generate the data.

Tcl is a very easy language to get to grips with - Why not take the backplot
routines and write a short program to convert the G code in to a format that
can be displayed ?

Regards, Paul.
