The der kritzler draw bot over on tinkerlog[1] had an interesting bit of code that renders an image as horizontal lines w squiggles were the intensity of the blips is related to the image tone. May be something of interest in there.
Cheers

... Did you by chance browse through the rest of the Egg-Bot wiki [1] (since the original question was referring to its smiley tutorial)? They describe an alternative method to generate line-based shadings (though not the same technique as used in the art of Duerer et al.):

It is based on stippling and aims for a single continuous path (TSP) instead of hatching with closely spaced parallel lines, but might still provide some interesting ideas and links... (and includes a set of python scripts to generate SVG output based on a bitmap image with the stippling information).
Interesting approach! Might have to experiment with it one of these days :)
