box_generator_script.m

Main script to ask the user to input the parameters and generate the SVG file.

Laser_Box.m

A class that contains the parameters and functions that generates each feature (faces, lid, text, corresponding SVG code) of the box.

Approach

1. Wrote a LaserBox class that contains the parameters and functions that generates each feature (faces, lid, text) of the box.
2. Added a function to the LaserBox class to write XML text of the SVG format to an SVG file.
3. Wrote a main script to ask the user to input the parameters and generate the SVG file.
