Class LaserJobCreator

java.lang.Object

de.mcp.cutcad.printdialog.lasercutter.LaserJobCreator

public class LaserJobCreator
extends java.lang.Object

This class handles the preparation of a laser job. The preparation includes setting the settings of the lasercutter accordingly and creating a vector and eventually a raster part.

Method Detail

setLaserCutter

public void setLaserCutter(LaserCutter device,
                  java.lang.String ipAddress)

This method sets the lasercutter and its address for the printjob. This method should be called once before sendLaserJob(String name) is called

Parameters:

device - A simulation of an enum containing the lasercutter to be used

ipAddress - This is the address of the lasercutter. This can be an hostname, ipaddress or an port

newVectorPart

public void newVectorPart(int DPI,
                 int power,
                 int speed,
                 float focus,
                 int frequency)

Creates a new object that entails vector commands which can be send to a laser cutter to cut through material. The vector parts needs to have the setting for the lasercutter to cut through the material. Furthermore it needs the accuracy in DPI with which will be cut.

Parameters:

DPI - the DPI setting with which this vectorpart will be cut

power - the power needed to cut through the material

speed - the speed suitable for the material to be cut

focus - the focus setting suitable for the material to be cut

frequency - the frequency of the laser suitable to cut through the material

newEngraveVectorPart

public void newEngraveVectorPart(int DPI,
                        int power,
                        int speed,
                        float focus,
                        int frequency)

Creates a new object that entails vector commands which can be send to a laser cutter to engrave material. The vector parts needs to have the setting for the lasercutter to engrace the material. Furthermore it needs the accuracy in DPI with which will be engraved.

Parameters:

DPI - the DPI setting with which this vectorpart will be engraved

power - the power suitable for engraving the material

speed - the speed suitable for the material to be engraved

focus - the focus setting suitable for the material to be engraved

frequency - the frequency of the laser suitable to engrave the material

addVerticesToVectorPart

public void addVerticesToVectorPart(java.util.List<Vector2D> newVertices)

Adds the vertices to the cut through vector part of the laser job. The vertices will result in a close shape, as lines between two consecutive vertices and the first and last vertex will be drawn.

Parameters:

newVertices - A list of vertices which will be added to the cut through vector part as close shape

sendLaserjob

public void sendLaserjob(java.lang.String name)

Sends the laserjob to the lasercutter. To which lasercutter it is send, depends on which lasercutter has been set. It sends the raserpart, the cut through vector part and the engrave vector part.

Parameters:

name - the name of the laser job as displayed on the laser cutter
