G Code Parser component
A set of routines to allow a G-Code type file to be parsed a line at a time and the coordinates to be collected. Simulates the G commands via a simulation only 3D printer component but can also be used to pass values to actual hardware.

GetAxis
Returns the value of the Axis generated from the ParseCommand function.
0 = Read X, 1 = Read Y, 2 = Read Z
Parameters

- Specifies which axis to read 0/'x'/'X' - 1/'y'/'Y' - 2/'z'/'Z'
Return value
GetCoordinateMode
Returns the current coordinate mode.
0 = Absolute
1 = Relative

Simulation macro reference
This component inherits simulation macros from 3D Printer
ClearPrevPrint
Clears all of the content from any previous print cycles.
This call is provided by 3D Printer
Parameters
- This macro has no parameters
Return value
- This call does not return a value
ControlPrintHead
Controls the print extruder which plots the location of the print head as the head moves.
If Enable = 0 then the extruder is disabled
If Enable != 0 then the extruder is enabled
This call is provided by 3D Printer
Parameters
- BYTE Enable
- Controls if the extruder is active or not
Return value
- This call does not return a value
MoveByXYZ
Moves the print head by the amount specified in the axis variables using linear interpolation.
This call is provided by 3D Printer
Parameters
- INT X

This call is provided by 3D Printer
Parameters
- This macro has no parameters
Return value
- This call does not return a value
MoveToXYZ
Moves the print head to the specific location specified in the axis variables using linear interpolation.
This call is provided by 3D Printer
Parameters
