# Introduction
Libnest2D is a library and framework for the 2D bin packaging problem.
Inspired from the [SVGNest](svgnest.com) Javascript library the project is is
built from scratch in C++11. The library is written with a policy that it should
be usable out of the box with a very simple interface but has to be customizable
to the very core as well. This has led to a design where the algorithms are
defined in a header only fashion with template only geometry types. These
geometries can have custom or already existing implementation to avoid copying
or having unnecessary dependencies.
A default backend is provided if a user just wants to use the library out of the
box without implementing the interface of these geometry types. The default
backend is built on top of boost geometry and the
[polyclipping](http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper.php) library and implies the
dependency on these packages as well as the compilation of the backend (although
I may find a solution in the future to make the backend header only as well).
This software is currently under heavy construction and lacks a throughout
documentation and some essential algorithms as well. At this point a fairly
untested version of the DJD selection heuristic is working with a bottom-left
placing strategy which may produce usable arrangements in most cases.
The no-fit polygon based placement strategy will be implemented in the very near
future which should produce high quality results for convex and non convex
polygons with holes as well.
