IMAGE-TO-GCODE(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is image-to-gcode from the LinuxCNC manual (section 1, the user commands, iykyk) — and she converts bitmap images to G-code. that's the whole gig. iconic. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

image-to-gcode

no flags, no args, no drama. she just is. 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie: image-to-gcode takes a bitmap image and turns it into G-code, and the way it does that is it reads the brightness of every single pixel and treats that brightness as a Z-height. dark pixel, light pixel, whatever — that's your Z. it's giving "your JPEG is now a physical object" energy and honestly? obsessed. 😭✨
