Claryfing pen usage

[jsecondo]

Great piece of software!!!!
I have a couple of doubts on the use of pens. By default there is certain list of pens or pens combinations hardcoded in the software. The program just uses this pen combinations to make the final drawing.

Do the colors present in each combination try to represent the colors in the actual image?
Is there a way to setup a cmyk pen combination? Just the 4 colors, but so that each pen draws the correponding color in the original image? Like making the color separation of the image and drawing it in only the corresponding color.

Once again great software. Keep it up. Ive learned tons of Processing trying to interpret it.

OK. Making some work on the copic sets, I created a 4 color set with what I think gets just CMYK.
Created 2 sets with different colors to try:

{"100", "B16", "RV17", "Y06", "0", "0"}, // CMYK1
{"100", "B28", "R29", "Y06", "0", "0"}, // CMYK2

The effect is pretty close to what I expected. And the gcode export does exactly that, a file for each color.
By the way, id I try to set the pen_count to just 4 colors, doesn't seem to work giving null pointer everywhere. I didn't follow the error.

Thanks again for a great piece of software!!! Keep it up!!!

Can you share this code (CMYK version)?

Thanks for your attention
