path/cut order optimization #38
Description
Sometimes, an SVG file will have a really poor draw order that makes a device seek all over the surface to do a small number of cuts. An simple example of this is a sprocket where the two sides of the teeth are cut all of one side first, then all of the other side.
Optimizing this fully is a traveling salesman problem, but the list of operations is small enough we could do quite a bit with it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem#Computing_a_solution
However, this would require reworking the APIs to take a list of operations rather than an operation at a time(#39 ).
