I'm thinking about how to clean up the components for easier debugging. And was wondering if it makes sense to use the system they use for organizing electric cables. One main bundle of wires going through the whole definition and the necessary input branching out and into the bundle again where needed. See below:

This leads me to the next question. In Grasshopper 1 (Rhino6) there are so-called "relays" which make it easier to implement this system. You double click on a wire and you get a relay. So then the question is, do we make the switch to Rhino6 or not yet? I tried opening a file with relays in Rhino 5 but it gives me a warning saying it does not recognize the relay component and then deletes it. I guess we could work for now with the standard geometry components to do the same, it might just be more work.

Ok, so I've spend quite a lot of time sorting out just the offset component and it makes everything way easier to work with. It requires some practice to get the idea and I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. At least in Rhino5. In case we decide to switch to Rhino6 than I would consider this with Relays. Now it's a lot of copying and connecting.

A downside is that it spreads out the grasshopper even more. Perhaps this can be reworked to layers stacked on top of each other?

The component is completely organised as described in issue #41 . It now also support rastering when an island is created inside a pocket by several curves, as described in #39
