I am trying to write name tags on the nested geometry for waffle based fabrication. The name tags often get placed near the teeth. In ordert to tackle this issue, I used the ngon plugin to create mesh triangles of these pieces, and then place the name tag in the triangles with the maximum area.
This technique works to a certain extent but not always.
How can I resolve this issue?
I am using open nest to nest the geometry together on sheet.

You can divide the curve and get a point average, then move the centroid away from that average. I used the area to get a distance that works ok for both small and bigger parts.

Thanks a lot! Works amazing! I studied your script further. How do you decide that area should be the determining factor of movement of points?
Another query. How did you decide the domain of 1 to 2 in the remap numbers component.
Thanks for your reply. I noticed that without taking the area into the distance calculation, the tag position tended to be a little close to the outside edge on smaller surfaces so I just tried what happens 
1 to 2 is simply to control how much the area can affect the distance. It means move twice as much on the largest surface.
Okay. Thanks!
