Generators

Generator

Generators are low-level functions that compute the cutting moves for a single target. They have no user interface and are implemented as pure functions. Generators should have 100% test coverage at all times because they may be called from multiple operation contexts.

For example, creating a helical move may be done

• By the helix operation
• As an entry move to a pocketing operation

Current Generators

Helix	helical paths
Rotation	Generates rotation moves of A & B axes

Pocket (adaptive)
Pocket (offset)
Line
Linking	Generate linking moves between cutting paths
