request for Information on the slicing algorithm

Hi all,

Would it be possible to talk to someone about the slicing mechanism that is employed in Slic3r to generate the contour information from *.stl files?

Specifically I'm interested in outputting the contour data as an image stack.

I'm no software developer but also I'm not completely code-illiterate.

Thanks for any help or pointers you can give me.

I can not help you with that,
but if you are interested in the contour per layer, you can prototype the gcode through PrintRun .
There is a screen in which you can advance layer by layer to se each contour in top view.

Maybe that helps ?

Thanks I had a look at at that but what I really need is a way of exporting the slice data as something other than Gcode
