Macros/Scripting Market

Many features are already build in the LayoutEditor. Further features can be added by macros/scripting. Those applications are often similar. Having a big archive of template will help to understand the macro languages faster and accelerates the development of new own macros. Here is a resource for it. Feel free the use, extend and modify it. If you have created new macros, please contribute it to this archive. Thank you!
