Hi Lyle,

Thank you soooo much for your reply! I knew to use the \\ in the path....BUT

I had linkern.exe located here: C:\\linkern.exe

My PY file was set to this location but it would just not work. I moved linkern.exe instead to here:
C:\\cygwin\\bin\\linkern.exe
After updating the PY files to the new path, it now works great!

I don't know why it doesn't work outside of the bin location. I'm guessing this is some programming thing that is obvious to someone that knows Cygwin or programming.

Any way, I wanted to thank you for indirectly pointing me in the right path! Now I can generate SVG files from the simple scripts. Awesome. Thanks again

You most likely needed to have linkern.exe use/find the library files in the bin folder.I do not use CygWin i prefer Msys and MinGW.

The mad scientist himself released his own stippler and thought I would re-open this old thread to share the program.

Details: http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2012/stipplegen2/

Direct link: http://code.google.com/p/eggbotcode/dow ... stipplegen

What's cool with this program is it directly generatoes TSP paths and can export SVG output too. Still playing with the program but, I do like Salience's program much better. I do like the gui play though of Stipplegen.

OK; Rep started a thread challenge at the G'MIC forum on PixLS's site; thought I would share the result here as well. Ref info at PixLS site.
