I'm using the Inkscape/Silhouette extension to use a Silhouette vinyl cutter as a platting machine.

It's really great at cutting outlines but I now want to use it to fill in shapes. To do this I imagine I would have to convert the fill into a series of strokes that the pen can follow. Is there a way to convert a fill into a series of strokes?

Hi.

For efficient plotting you would want a continuous line,
the plotter would then not need to lift the pen which slow down the plotting.

Easiest way to add hatching which is a continuous line is to use the
extensions made for the Eggbot plotter. Eggbot Overview
