# AxiTurtle

An easy way to program AxiDraw and preview your drawing.

Including turtle graphics commands!

Requirements to run application:

* Sun Java Runtime 6, installed on your system

Additional requirements to run from source code:

* Processing 3 (Download from: http://processing.org/download/  )

* Ani library ( http://www.looksgood.de/libraries/Ani/ )

Based on EvilMadScientist's AxiGen example, hiding it's complexity,

but providing an easy (turtle graphics) programming interface.

Based RoboPaint RT:

Turtle graphics commands are based on "Laser Turtle":

The turtle starts in the upper left corner facing right.

Angles: 0 is right, 1/4 is up, 1/2 is left, 3/4 is down

## Pen commands

```java

penUp(); // Shortcut u()

penDown(); // d()

```

## Relative move

```java

moveForward(distance); // f()

```

## Relative turns

```java

turnRight(angle); // r()

turnLeft(angle); // l()

```

## Absolute turns

```java

turnTo(angle); // t()

```

Angles for turn commands are 0.0 to 1.0

```java

turnRight(1/4); // Turn right 90º

turnLeft(1/360); // Turn left 1º

```

## Move (pen not drawing) and line (drawing)

### Relative

```java

moveBy(x, y); 

lineBy(x, y);

```

### Absolute

```java

moveTo(x, y); 

lineTo(x, y);

line(x1, y1, x2, y2);

```
