When i try to run gcode-simulator with the following command:
$ curl http://www.clker.com/cliparts/O/H/c/W/A/o/plane.svg | svgmill -i -z 110 --scale=1 | gcode-simulator -i
I've got the following error:
C:\www\gcode-simulator> curl http://www.clker.com/cliparts/O/H/c/W/A/o/plane.svg | svgmill -i -z 110 --scale=1 | gcode-simulator -i

In gcode-simulator.js I changed the following line:
runtime: "/Volumes/Data/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome",
To this one:
runtime: "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe",
Now the Chrome window with the name of "WebGL Gcode simulator" will start, but I only got an FPS counter and white window.
And now my command line hangs in this state:
C:\www\gcode-simulator> curl http://www.clker.com/cliparts/O/H/c/W/A/o/plane.svg | svgmill -i -z 110 --scale=1 | gcode-simulator -i

After I close the chrome window the cmd will give back the cursor, so I think it's a feature, but my window is still blank white in chrome.
Can be a windows and cURL compatibility issue (cURL is installed and working). If I just type "gcode-simulator", starts without problem. I copy in the svg from the original example, generating the GCODE, but the right side graphical window is still blank grey. This is same using the website also:
http://tmpvar.com/project/gcode-simulator/
Update:
Okay, so the -i flag causing the simulator to hide everything and only showing a white window. Possibly this is a full screen milling area. Removing the -i flag making the window showing everything like on the website, but the svg and gcode windows are empty. CTRL+C in command line causing downloading the svg and closing the chrome window same time.
Maybe the | "pipe" command doesn't work in windows command line?
