automatic arrangement of shapes

[renebohne]

A group of students is working on automatic arrangement of shapes.

The main features will be:

• automatic arrangement of multiple shapes on the available material
• detect available material with VisiCAM and avoid unavailable areas

I would be very interested in the gui designs, maybe we can help? Keeping it simple for first time users for example.

The students will read this issue. If you have any ideas and feedback, please use this issue. This feature has a deadline: 4.2.2015 :)

If the students are allowed to receive help, feel free to frok the project and create a pull-request, even if it is not finished. A pull request is a nice place to colaborate on a new feature.

The students are allowed to receive help :) Part of their final project is to create pull requests to the develop branch.

We have integrated the code for the auto arrangement of objects with VisiCut and it seems to be working. There is a bit of code cleaning that needs to be done before the pull requests. I'll create the pull requests once that is done before or by 3rd of Feb.

nice. Please make sure the copyright-header is exactly like in the other files etc. Also please use git-rebase to clean the commit log before creating the pull request, so it looks like strait foreward development ;)
