Minifigs Patterns

[Travis Cobbs]

At the bottom of this message is a link to an initial demo of my work in progress.

There are some important notes (READ THESE!):

• It creates a .ldr file with the same name as the input .svg file, overwriting any existing .ldr file with the same name without prompting.
  
• It doesn't properly support any kind of curves inside paths (cubic Bézier, quadratic Bézier, arc). Instead of drawing a curve, it draws a straight line between the two ends of the curve.
  
• It isn't fully working with winding rules (odd/even, non-zero, etc). This means that some files look great, while others have overlapping (co-planar) polygons.
  
• It only supports a small subset of SVG. In particular, references to named items don't work, nor do coordinate transformations.
  
• The output is all triangles; anything that would have generated lines is ignored.
  
• I haven't checked if the output triangles all have the same winding (for BFC). I believe that they should, but haven't checked.
  
• The only SVG nodes supported are switch, g, polygon, path, rect, and circle.
  

If you still want to give it a try, go ahead. It's a command line program, and expects the filename of an SVG file as its first (and only) argument. Here is the link:
