Can I extract xy coordinates values from ILDA file??

[unbeliverpool]

Dear All,

I want those array data to use in Labview; projecting some images by using Labview and myDAQ
Is there any way to extract xy coordinate values from ILDA file in text or xls whatever??

Thanks!

Sure. Find the ILDA standard document. It tells how. If you use LaserBoy I think it has a feature that will output to a text file which is probably the easiest.

Its command line based, and last known to work on WiN 7. It only deals with type 0 and 1 formats. But long ago a friend wrote ILDAREAD and ILDAWRITE for me:

Here is the standard, older version without 4 and 5 version.

I'm the bastard who asked James to add text in and out to Laserboy.

Good Luck

LaserBoy can read and write plain ASCII text files.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I like the txt in txt out functionality a lot.
It makes all kinds of crazy workflows possible.

Could some mathgeek make an 512 points dragon curve or 784 pointhilbert curve, in ilda please.

The Hilbert curve from wiki is in SVG format. Isn't there a way to convert SVG to ILDA? Maybe SVG to DXF to ILDA?

If nothing else, you could pick out the 2D coordinates from the SVG data segment and reformat that into LaserBoy 2D text format.
