Allow negative spacing #151

Open yaqwsx opened 3 years ago

yaqwsx commented 3 years ago

139 adds generality to board placement, however, it does not allow you to specify negative offsets anymore (e.g., for oddly shaped boards to pack them more tightly). We can support it again - we just need to implement an alternative algorithm for computation of the partition line.

This would be very much useful for a project I'm working on!

Arbitrary-shaped partition line could be generated as a Voronoi diagram for polygons, e.g, via https://github.com/longavailable/voronoi-diagram-for-polygons

You are right, #616 is a dublicate. Hence, I'd support that feature request.
