I certainly don't want to discourage your effort, but I suppose no one
has found the need for your application, yet. I know when I have a need
for your application, I will be making a pest of myself.

In briefly considering how I might try to use your application, it seems
that in its current form, one would be limited to engraving fine lines
on a flat surface. What might be interesting would be to use the current
path to come up with a three dimensional surface. Perhaps, use the
original path as it is, then change Z with parallel paths. On the other
hand, converting the path to an image, using GIMP to shade it, then
using the image-to-g-code filter in the .ini file could be another way,
but this would rasterize the surface.
