Egg-bot specific topics covered:

  • Setting up a document for use with EggBot
  • Naming layers for multicolor plots
  • Filling solid regions with a continuous path

Other Inkscape techniques demonstrated:

  • Basic object creation & manipulation
  • Changing fill and stroke settings
  • Viewing objects
  • Align & distribute tools
  • Creating and working with layers


In what follows, we'll be drawing a silly happy face like so: 46.jpg
