createThickTSP.md

Follow the instruction on http://www.drububu.com/illustration/tsp/index.html to create a tsp art svg image by using the following script. You have to have the correct folder structure if you use the script or you change the location of the tools in the script acordingly. The output saved in output_bilder\tsp_art.svg is the input for the gocupi meanderStipple command. For help see gocupi command help.
