he tools provided by System.Drawing (I know, there is a module called PIL that works in Python but I couldn't get it properly working so I just jumped to System namespace...).
The first problem that I found is that there is no a direct way to store colours into saved images in other format different than 8 bits per channel...
PixelFormat48bppRGB, PixelFormat64bppARGB, and PixelFormat64bppPARGB use 16 bits per color component (channel). GDI+ version 1.0 and 1.1 can read 16-bits-per-channel images, but such images are converted to an 8-bits-per-channel format for processing, displaying, and saving. Each 16-bit color channel can hold a value in the range 0 through 2^13.
From -> here.
...so the accuracy of the information stored is very very low (as much as 256 possible values per channel, ≈ 16M of different values per pixel) if I need to store the data in the hard-drive (thing that I would anxiously like to do for further processing).
So, is there any efficient way of storing at least 16bits (it's not an ideal solution but...it could work) per channel data into an image file using System namespace instead of an external library?.
...the thing is that I know that using:
imageTest = System.Drawing.Bitmap(mX,mY,System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format48bppRgb)
...I can create a 16bits per channel image, but how could I specify the 16bit color if System.Drawing.Color limit the range to 8bits values?
And ideally, does anyone knows how to work with and save directly floating point colours into image files using python?
Thanks in advance ;)

DESCRIPTION : Two seemingly contrasting ideas combined will turn into something remarkably new. This resulted in the idea of Digital Craftsmanship – connecting the digital technology with artisans’ craftsmanship. Singapore is uniquely positioned to benefit from both – the latest technology in digital fabrication, as well as the beautiful and rich culture of ASEAN craftsmanship in countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. The NUS digital fabrication in architecture studio introduces advanced design to fabrication flow, such as 3D modeling, simulation, digital fabrication and physical assembly and testing. We discover existence of data flow distinguishes digital and conventional craftsmanship, prolonging the interface between human and object. The result is very encouraging –the Digital Craftsmanship approach could lead innovative yet regionally relevant contemporary architectural design, complex yet controlled functional geometry and aesthetics. We hope this exhibition could raise our awareness about preserving the precious wisdom of traditional craftsmanship alongside with advanced fabrication technologies in architecture.
OPENING : 24 August 2012, 7pm – 9pm, RSVP to Yi Hui (dfabstudio@gmail.com) EXHIBITION : 25 – 28 August 2012 (10 am – 9 pm, daily, free admission) VENUE : Promenade, Level 8, National Library Building, 100 Victoria Street, Singapore

he code you added from my earlier reply.
Took awhile but I located the 'Extent X' input for 'SqGrid' and reduced it from 18 to four, which gave an adequate result for testing.
I began tracking the contributors in the data stream to the large numbers and, in the process, noticed the source of double lines. 'SqGrid' output could be flattened for our purposes.
And the 'ArrPolar' output needed to be flattened for the intersections to work. Even so, the earlier code seemed to freeze my machine with only 4,788 squares (note that number!). I replaced it with 'RUnion (Region Union)' which seemed to give the same result much faster.
Then as I was about to post my results, I wanted to compare the number of squares before and after and noticed a very strange thing: my code was generating 4,788 squares when 'Extent X' was either 4 or 8... Digging further, I could find no good reason for the 'Series' and 'List Item' components, other than creating duplicates squares - so I bypassed them, taking 'Rotate' output directly to 'Area' and 'Scale'.
The net result is that, for 'Extent X' = 8, 'ArrPolar' generates only 1,216 squares to intersect instead of 38,304 in your code! Thirty-one times fewer!! I'll let you run benchmarks for 'Extent X' = 18, if you want. But keep the numbers small when shaking down the data tree.
P.S. 6,156 from 'ArrPolar' when 'Extent X' = 18 - 7.7 minutes on 'RUnion'.…

own use and added the command line port LPT1 port dump.
I found a couple of strange things in your code:
# Changes the model units to inches, but does not scale model.rs.UnitSystem(unit_system=8, scale=False)
Why did you change the model units here? HPGL units are 40 per mm (which is also 1016 per inch) staying in mm units in your model will be fine if your step scaling in right.
And doing this seems strange for a cutting program:
allCurves = rs.ObjectsByType(4)for curve in allCurves: if (rs.CurveDegree(curve) == 2 or rs.CurveDegree(curve) == 3) and rs.IsPolyCurve(curve): rs.ExplodeCurves(curve, True)allCurves = rs.ObjectsByType(4)
Cutting usually needs a closed curve to produce a nice clean removable piece from the material. Your approach results in a bunch of line/curve segments instead of closed polycurves/polylines. As this simulation shows the 'O's and 'R' are cut as a collection of curve segments - not closed polycurves:
I just removed this step from the code.
As this simulation shows every part of the font is cut in one cut action - exactly what I needed:
I saw your RVB code on the RhinoScript site too - was way more detailed than I needed - my vinyl cutter only has one 'pen' - the cutting blade. I just needed a really basic way of getting polycurves into HPGL format and firing it out to a printer port.
Thanks for your help on this little project - I'm very stoked at the result! Let me know if I can help with your cutter project.
Cheers

his 5-day workshop you'll learn to create and edit accurate free-form 3-D NURBS models.
This fast-moving class covers most of Rhino's functionality, including the most advanced surfacing commands. In addition, this workshop will give students a functional understanding of Grasshopper and Parametric design; this will allow them to build on this understanding into more advanced projects of their own.
During the training you will learn to customize Rhino + Grasshopper to improve and accelerate your furniture designs through generative modeling. The class also covers information on fabrication techniques with 3D Printers or laser machines and optimization and fabrication using RhinoCAM for CNC machines.
** This training will take place at the RhinoFabStudio at McNeel Miami.**

oups based on a wedge shape that passes through all seven levels. As such, my data tree shows a correlation between points on one level and the wedge they exist within and points on another level. (Points on levels 3,5,8,9 pass through wedge 135 for instance...the data tree has the points grouped respectively under {3;135}, {5,135},{8;135} and {9;135}, all sorted within their respective branches based upon their distance to the center of the hemispherical cloud.
On a small scale, I can pull the branches {3;135} and {5;135}, for instance, and use the line tool to draw lines from the closer points to the further points, in such a way that represents branching (the 3rd level points may have multiple lines associated with each point, but the 5th level points may only have one). I can pull the 8th level and grow the branches out further...then the ninth and the branch gets even bigger.
However, doing this for three hundred point groups defeats the purpose of parametric design...is there a way I can speed this process up? I'll include my grasshopper file (It's a bit dirty) for reference, as well as my rhino file with the source points.
I'd appreciate some advice! Thanks!…
not sure which is the correct term).
So far I have done it pretty well out of an excel file and Grasshopper. I get the number of the cell and the rgb colour and a text (in my case a pantone). From this set up I can seed in Grasshopper different solutions and then decide which poster I want and from that point manually arrange the images but I wonder if I could create with some programing something like 30 or 40 different posters.
My .gh file is a bit messy even if it is simple. It takes the data from an excel sheet (I attach it), but to simplify it I have internalized the data into the .gh file so hope you can understand what I am trying to do.
So the idea is to get different images such as the ones shown in "Capture.jpg", but with the help of some code instead of manually organizing them.
I am trying with python, but I am not that good yet.
Any idea how could I do this or where should I ask for help?
Thanks in advance.
