To help visualize the edges of the drwing page, display the page's boundaries via the "Document Properties" item of Inkscape's "File" menu. When Inkscape displays our drawing on our computer screen, the drawing page or template has a well defined top and bottom as well as a left and right. Figures near the top of the drawing are plotted near the headstock end of the egg so we'll refer to that end as the egg's top or top pole. (The headstock is the end of the Eggbot with the egg motor -- the motor which turns the egg.) The bottom of the Inkscape drawing plots near the tailstock end of the egg making that end the bottom or bottom pole of the egg. The Eggbot moves to the left or right in our drawing by rotating the egg. It moves up or down in our drawing by moving the pen arm. |
