Software to turn black and white image into plottable SVG?
A lot of resources can be found here: https://drawingbots.net/resources VPype is one that comes to mind... as well as https://github.com/SonarSonic/DrawingBotV3 which I've used with good success.

Best software ever is Drawingbot V3 and find it here: https://github.com/SonarSonic/DrawingBotV3
- Is it possible to draw my face with a plotter?
- Some Spitfire drawings I did over 3.5 years ago. One source file processed 3 ways.

After the test phase, here is the first 'real' drawing made by my Polargraph. 25000 lines for 3 hours of drawing. Format 18x18cm. The machine can go up to A2 size I'm quite satisfied with the result. If you want more information about the polargaph : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5136394
Thanks ! I use DrawingBot V3 for production https://github.com/SonarSonic/DrawingBotV3 Good idea for Z stepper.

RIP Mister the Cat - I miss you every single day!
It's maybe a bit easier than you think! I started with a photo, edited it with photoshop, then processed it using the DrawingBot software Thanks to github user SonarSonic. It took me several attempts to get the final, but with some experimenting with the DrawingBot settings, going back and forth to photoshop, then back to inkscape, I split the image into 3 layers for the different colors and I'm pretty happy with the result.

I'm not sure but that sounds like something vpype could do: https://github.com/abey79/vpype

Axidraw / Inkscape masking problem
If your polygons are closed you can try using vpype with the occult plug in to automatically remove invisible paths. The catch is that they really need to be closed polygons and not lines. There may be another plug in that does handle lines though.

Islamic Geometric Art (Design #30 from Anadolu Selçuklu Sanatinin Geometrik Dili)
The basics: I generated this plot via a program I wrote. That program was written in Javascript, using the p5.js library for drawing lines and stuff, and canvas-sketch to generate the SVG for plotting. I passed the SVG through vpype to merge & sort the lines, and then connected to the AxiDraw using saxi. Not knowing where you're at, those are a good choice to get started—Javascript is an okay language, and p5.js is really good for just getting stuff appearing on the page. And you can just start with the first 2, and add vpype and saxi later.

Ask HN: Software to turn black and white image into plottable SVG?
Ah, very nice.
That should reduce the effort needed to something you might be able to make quick work of, yourself, with some thought.
this website [1] recommends a tool called vpype [2] which might have an option to do what you need or might be able to be tweaked to do what you need

Lots of dots issue with pen plotter
I think the lines are so small it makes dots. You can use vpipe tool to fix up stuff like this. Don't ask me for the command I just know it exists. https://github.com/abey79/vpype

Anyone worked out how to get an plotter to do joined up hand writing?
VPype has good tools for post-processing SVG to optimize plot speed. Simplifying the geometry and optimizing the line drawing order are the two basic things. Axidraw's Inkscape extension does some of this automatically, too.
What are some alternatives?

vsketch - Generative plotter art environment for Python
processing-imageprocessing - Collection of basic image processing algorithms for processing
Grbl_Esp32 - A port of Grbl CNC Firmware for ESP32
Thumbnailator - Thumbnailator - a thumbnail generation library for Java
vpype-pixelart - Pixel art plotting in vpype
BoofCV - Fast computer vision library for SFM, calibration, fiducials, tracking, image processing, and more.
prettymaps - A small set of Python functions to draw pretty maps from OpenStreetMap data. Based on osmnx, matplotlib and shapely libraries.
Blurry - Blurry is an easy blur library for Android
WebPlotDigitizer - Computer vision assisted tool to extract numerical data from plot images.
inkscapeOptimizePath - An Inkscape extension that tries to make the longest paths possible
inklayers - inklayers is a command line program that exports layers from an SVG file. It can be used to create slide shows by editing a single SVG file.
