• gridHoleOffset: The option to stagger the grid holes.

• pillWidth: The width of the pills.

• pillHeight: The height of the pills.

• pillWidthSpacing: The horizontal spacing between pills.

• pillHeightSpacing: The vertical spacing between pills.

• gridPolySize: The size of the grid polygons.

• gridPolySpacing: The spacing between grid polygons.

• roundness: The roundness of the mounting plate.

• gridMargin: The margin around the grid.

• gridSides: The number of sides for polygons (only applicable for polygon shape).

• mountMargin: The margin around the mounting holes.

• mountHoleSize: The size of the mounting holes.

• mountOffset: The offset of the mounting holes.

Usage
