margin

The margin setting allows you to specify a part margin (in mm). Each part will have this margin applied when they are laid out on the pattern. The default is 2mm.

Signature

const settings = {
  Number margin=2
}

Example

import { Aaron } from "@freesewing/aaron"

const pattern = new Aaron({
  margin: 5
})

Notes

The margin implies that:

• At the edge of the SVG, the margin will be margin * 1 (2mm by default)
• Between parts, the margin will be margin * 2 (4mm by default)

Setting the margin to zero (or below) will cause parts to overlap.

In paperless mode, the margin will not go below 10mm. That is because text is not taken into account when calculating the bounding box of the part. Since dimensions are typically the outermost elements in a paperless part, a too narrow margin would cause the dimension text to get cut off.
