It takes a png as input and ouput the corresponding G-code. It can be found under the contour directory of this repository. To streamline the all process of generating the code, a frontend can be launched. It offers a web page with some basic G-code instructions that can be used to calibrate the machine and an interface where it is possible to upload the png file and convert them to G-code.
