This extension will perform simple optimizations
of selected paths. It will try to change the
order of plotting so as to reduce the amount
of "pen-up" travel that occurs between paths.
Solving for optimal plot order is a difficult
problem, known in computer science as the
"traveling salesman problem," or just "TSP."
This routine does not look for the best possible
solution; that can be slow. Instead it tries a
few quick methods that often reduce pen-up
travel distance (and time) by 30% or more.
Please note: This extension is still considered
experimental, and is only provided in case you
may find it useful. Be sure to save a copy of
your document before running this routine.
