- Description
- A text outline format used by industrial sewing machines. Each line holds nine integers: a flag (0 = line, 1 = arc, -1 = end record), a start point, an end point and, for arcs, a centre point and a rotation direction, with coordinates in hundredths of a millimetre and every record terminated by LF CR.
- A .tap file with G-code is a CNC machining program, a text list of tool movements written by CAM software for controllers such as Mach3; unrelated to embroidery .tap files.
