Much as I admire Magic, it is worth pointing out that this will only work for
a "Manhattan" layout, that is, one which contains only exactly horizontal and
exactly vertical edges (and thus necessarily, only angles which are multiples
of 90 degrees). If your design contains any oblique angles at all, you will
need to find a different solution.
