Oddly enough I have recently been drawing geometric designs, and then got the idea to draw them with a drawing ro bot. The current process is :
1. Draw design with ruler and compass
2. Photograph paper
3. Edge-detect image in Inkscape
4. Draw over the edge detected lines and save to SVG
5. Possibly convert to a graph, and run the Chinese postman algorithm over it
6. Convert graph to turtle commands and send to robot
So not far off. Also step 2 often involves a wooden surface...
