Copper clearing leaves small un-cleared areas

Issue #41 new

Juan Pablo Caram repo owner created an issue 2014-01-19

This is due to the "stop when new polygon's area is zero". See Issue ~~#28~~.

Also due to sharp corners in polygons and not enough toolpath overlap.

Added improved algorithm in fe2b4c7 but needs optimization in the G-code creation to be able to start at the end of a segment (reverse segment) if end is closer to current point.

Add way to specify the seed. A point or a line defined in some other geometry object.

1. The seed-based algorithm does not present this problem.
2. When the standard algorithm reaches its termination condition (new polygon has zero area) paint the remaining area with a different method (seed based?)
3. Small areas are also left behind due to sharp corners. There must be a relationship of corner angle vs. minimum path overlap. This would allow to detect the affected corners. Then add additional tool paths to correct?
