Many laser scripts used by the various labs or in VisiCut's examples contain similar if not the same code all over again. For instance, drawing figures or characters inspired by a seven segment display (which I find relatively limited and will soon extend to a 14 or 16 segment one), a simple but useful focus gauge to include in other scripts, etc.
I would like to be able to define those functions once and then import the functionality into other scripts, either from a global utility script exposing functions into the global namespace or by explicitly importing script files (the latter allowing users to maintain their own scripts while also allowing them to import a global one).
There are so many advantages of such a scenario: not only will the copy-pasta between scripts end which often causes inconsistencies. When going for the import feature, one could recycle functionality from a script in another one or add different "frontends", e.g., one asking prompts, the other one using some quick defaults.
What do you think?
