Given a closed polygon in Illustrator expanded to a filled path, I need to covert the shape to a single line ffor embroidery and wondered if someone could help me write a script to do it.
Basically the idea is that given a shape, find the bottom-left most coordinate and start a path. Extend the path horizontally until you almost intersect another path. When you do place an anchor and move vertically a certain distance following the outer shapes path. Place another anchor point and begin moving the to right until it almost reaches the shape border. Place and anchor and raise the path following the shape's path a certain distance. Place another anchore and start over for the entire shape. Thee result, when fed to an embroidery machine, would be a solid embroidered shape made from a single thread.
I have the modern js to do the path, but I don't know how to incorporate it into Illustrator to make it work.
If you know of an existing script or plugin that does this or if you have any scripting knowledge and would help me make the script that I have work in Illustrator, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
