is a program that generates SVG images that can be viewed directly in a web brower but also postscript and \- with pstoedit as external helper \- other vector formats including dxf, plt (aka hpgl) and gcode\&.

Of course the library and the generators allow selecting the "thickness" of the material used and automatically adjusts lengths and width of joining fingers and other elements\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The "burn" parameter compensates for the material removed by the laser\&. This allows fine tuning the gaps between joins up to the point where plywood can be press fitted even without any glue\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
inger Joints are the work horse of the library\&. They allow 90\(de edges and T connections\&. Their size is scaled up with the material "thickness" to maintain the same appearance\&. The library also allows putting holes and slots for screws (bed bolts) into finger joints, although this is currently not supported for the included generators\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Dovetail joints can be used to join pieces in the same plane\&.
|

|
|
Flex cuts allows bending and stretching the material in one direction\&. This is used for rounded edges and living hinges\&.
