I had looked at a cnc nibbler and scrollsaw.

I thought it might be nice if Axis could show the tool orientation.

So I made a tiny hack in glcanon.py and minigl.c

What I did was modify the disk on top of the cone, and the disks on top and bottom of round tools.

I simply enabled and used the gluPartialDisk instead of gluDisk.

This makes most views in Axis show a PacMan like tool ( or cone ).

And very simple coding can show a tool orienting itself to the path.

(I havent installed the wokawoka music yet :-)

Is it useful?
