This function creates path to engrave letters or any shape with sharp angles.
Cutter's depth as a function of radius is defined by the tool.
Depth may be any Python expression. For instance:
cone....(45 degrees)......................: w
cone....(height/diameter=10/3)..: 10*w/3
sphere..(radius r)...........................: math.sqrt(max(0,r**2-w**2))
ellipse.(minor axis r, major 4r).....: math.sqrt(max(0,r**2-w**2))*4

Gcodetools plug-in: converts paths to Gcode (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters.
This plug-in calculates Gcode for paths using circular interpolation or linear motion when needed.
