Happy to know it can be useful! Just keep in mind that it's still fairly bugged for an extensive usage. Because the issue is maybe with the way Inkscape handles python extensions, it might take a bit before it'll be stable.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoWhen it is, are there any plans to put it on https://inkscape.org/gallery/=extension/ https://inkscape.org/gallery/=extension/?
- damienbloch 6y agoIf people can find a use for it, this might be a good idea. But haven't discussed this yet
- rahimiali 6y agoI’m very excited about this. But I’m I’m also interested to hear why you chose to build this instead of using Zemax’s sequential mode. I’ve written two bespoke ray tracers in my career and to this day I wonder if I should have written them as zemax extensions. Is it just cost?
- pen2l 6y agoIt’s almost definitely cost! Zemax is what, a 5-digit price for the full pack? Prohibitively expensive for anyone but those deep inside the industry who really get their bang for the buck.
- damienbloch 6y agoZemax would definitely be a more professional option, but I never got the opportunity to dive into it. Also this is more for quick plots than for complex optics
