Pathetic is a very simple viewer for RepRap [1] GCode [2] written in python [3], using numpy [4] and pyglet [5]. It is also an opportunity for me to learn a bit OpenGL.

Pathetic is started from the commandline with the name of the GCode file as first argument.

One can change between the layer using the arrow keys or a mousewheel.

Non-extruding moves are shown white, primary extruder red, secondary extruder green.

This does neither mean that I will implement any of this nor that these are good ideas. They are just ideas and I wanted to write them down somewhere.

• 3D View
• Statistics (Layer statistics)
• Coloring assistant (visual selection of parts, output of filament length to fuse)
• Comparison Window (to compare Skeinforge [6] and Slic3r [7] output)
• GCode Debug/Polish Mode (Graphical way to edit GCode, to remove unwanted paths, infill, ...)

These are things that I really want to implement in foreseeable future.

• Scale (cm, inch, mm)
• Zoom
