16. On the layout of parts lists and BOMs:

    a) The layout of the parts lists is sometimes not optimal. Very long parts
could be drawn much closer together.

  LPub renders the part images, and then walks through the image finding its
bounding rectangle.  All placement is based on packing rectangles.

  To better pack the long parts, I would need to find the bounding
parallelogram, and pack based on parallelograms.  I've thought of this befores,
but have not acted upon it (yet).

I got this fabulous email from Andrew Maier: Kevin, as discussed, here are some comments on LPub. I wanted to post this on the lugnet cad forum, but I signed up there only recently, and it seems to take a while. So I'm writing to you, but feel free (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad)
