Fillet is a script to fillet or bevel the corners on a gcode file.
To run fillet, install python 2.x on your machine, which is avaliable from http://www.python.org/download/
To use the preferences dialog you'll also need Tkinter, which probably came with the python installation. If it did not, look for it at:
www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/
To turn an STL file into filled, filleted gcode, first import the file using the STL import plugin in the import submenu of the file menu
of Art of Illusion. Then from the Scripts submenu in the Tools menu, choose Skeinforge and select the imported STL shape. In the
Fill radio button group, choose Slice and click the 'Export Selected' checkbox. Set the parameters and click OK. Then type
'python fill.py' in a shell in the folder which fill is in and when the dialog pops up, set the parameters and click 'Save Preferences'.
The parameters from fill will override any parameters of the same name from Slice. Then type 'python fillet.py' in a shell and when
the dialog pops up, change the parameters if you wish but the default bevel is fine. Then click 'Fillet', choose the file which you
generated in Skeinforge and the filled & filleted file will be saved with the suffix '_fillet'.
To write documentation for this program, open a shell in the fillet.py directory, then type 'pydoc -w fillet.py', then open 'fillet.html' in
a browser or click on the '?' button in the dialog. To use other functions of fillet, type 'python' in a shell to run the python interpreter,
then type 'import fillet' to import this program.
The following examples fillet the gcode file Hollow Square.gcode. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains
Hollow Square.gcode and fillet.py. The fillet function executes the preferred fillet type, which can be set in the dialog or by changing
the preferences file 'fillet.csv' with a text editor or a spreadsheet program set to separate tabs. The functions filletChainFile and
getFilletChainGcode check to see if the text has been filled, if not they call the getFillChainGcode in fill.py to fill the text; once they
have the filled text, then they fillet.

This brings up the dialog, after clicking 'Fillet', the following is printed:
File Hollow Square.gcode is being chain filleted.
The filleted file is saved as Hollow Square_fillet.gcode
