Layout objects with a direction #1

There is a big demand for creating "markers" to cut out garments with sewing patterns.

Nestcpp could provide a feature to utilize a line embedded within closed svg-defined objects (pattern pieces), with the constraints that 1.) all objects fit within a background fabric of a given width and variable length, and 2.) all objects' lines are parallel to the long side of the fabric.

Many applications could use this feature besides sewing patterns, such as paper cutouts, quilting, even sheet metal.

I can assist with documenting and testing this feature.

I'll look into it once I've got basic functionality working. Thanks for your offer, i'll keep you posted!
