how to use

npm start

Send data in JSON format, on http://127.0.0.1:3000, POST method, with this format:

{
  "svg": "<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 581.88263 830.95042' width='210mm' height='297mm'>{{SVG CONTENT HERE}}</svg>"
}

Actually, you need tu put width='210mm' height='297mm' attributes in svg, it's for AxiDraw paper size.

sample

For exemple, this commande send a POST request methods to 'http://127.0.0.1:3000', with svg code. If put this code on your terminal, you can draw this sample. (don't forget to start npm service [see above npm start])
