I have a project I want to do for my Granddaughter. It involves a 2D plotter. I've used a 3D Printer for a few years now and have even written C# GCode generators, so I'm familiar with the typical process flow for a 3D Printer.
Is it possible and is there software available that can take a simple line art picture, say... a BMP, JPG, PNG and convert it into 2D GCode code and lift/drop pen instructions? I've done several Google searches, but I'm not getting anything helpful... yet. I don't know if it's not possible or I'm just not using the right key words?
Thanks,
VBR,

Inkscape (and others) can do what you desire.
