I would be happy to release the plugin.
There are two parts needed to make it workable for pythonOCC:
(1) a way to creating a 2-D projection of an object in SVG ( or png or jpg
) format in pythonOCC. This needs to be possible without relying on
screen-grabbing tricks, because you cannot count on having a display when
the script runs.
(2) a high level api to use for the script format. of course it would be
possible to use any script that returns an object that can be exported--
but the longer the script, the less 'nice' it is.
