The amount of stretch increases towards the poles of your egg (i.e., increases with distance away from the equator). The stretching is such that when plotted, the resulting plot appears much like your original drawing. The stretching of the horizontal near the poles counters the decreasing circumference of lines of latitude as you approach the poles of a sphere or egg. Apply this extension just before plotting. Note that it turns all objects into paths composed of line segments. If no objects are selected, then the entire document is transformed. In this case, a vertical line passing through your document's center (width / 2) will remain unchanged. The farther a vertical line is from the center, the more it will be distorted. If objects are selected then a vertical line passing through the horizontal midpoint of the bounding box containing the selected objects will remain unchanged. The vertical smoothing is the vertical segment length to break non-horizontal lines into so that they are smoothly but continuously distorted. The curve smoothing value is the same control as in the Eggbot Control extension. It needs to be applied here before plotting as all curves will be rendered to straight line segments by this extension. 5.0 0.2 all
