Detailed Description

A RasterPlanner is a subclass of ToolPathPlanner with the following general properties:

• Generally >1 raster
• Generally covers the whole supplied surface
• Lines are parallel
• Repeating pattern of lines
• All points lie on surface
• All points have same orientation
• Waypoints in rasters are consistently and spatially ordered
• Segments are consistently and spatially ordered in ToolPath
• ToolPaths are in order in top-level structure

The organization of tool path waypoints, segments, and paths in the output of a raster planner is shown the following diagram:

The RasterPlanner interface uses two additional interfaces to generate the location and direction of the raster lines. Origin Generators are used to specify the location of the first raster line on the mesh. Direction Generators are used to specify the direction of travel of the raster lines in the tool path.
