Hektor CNC clone in SVG

Hi,
(concerns simple 2 axis CNC spray painter Hektor )

I was impressed with Hektor,
last nite I whacked this up in SVG
(see the posts on Hektor on yahoo group site)
( and www.hektor.ch)

The important thing is:
The cogged cable has extra length in a kind of auto rollup device
to the outside of each of the 2 motors.
Wether stepper or servo, you just count cogs.
The thing to be aware of is the length from motor to spray can
(represented by the 2 arc & 2 radii)
the angle takes care of itself (doh! the can sinks to bot of triangle)
the sum of the 2 radii is longest at bot corners of wall
that determines how much cable you need
the shortest length is when can is along top edge of wall
that determines your take up reel size
The edges are the worst place to go
requiring better motor mounts
this is ruf, but the code has what's needed for the control
and svg is just too kewl
the dro shows the 2 ray lengths
i feed the system X,Y catesian,
and get back 2 polars (at diiferent poles)
The poles are determined by the wal width & height
