+Script for mapping multiple objects onto one square texture.
+
+Usage:
+(1) create new square texture in the UV editor
+(2) map all objects individually, choosing the most appropriate technique
+(3) scale each of the mappings to the appropriate size, relative to the
+    other object mappings
+(4) select all objects and switch to edit mode (consider to use
+    Select->Linked->Material or similar methods)
+(5) start this script with UVs->Scripts->Pack objects on a square
+
+    [now the texture image will first be erased, then colored rectangles
+    will appear for each object]
+
+(6) rescale and/or remap objects that you aren't happy with (the
+    relative size of a mapping will be kept)
+
+    [continue with (5) until you like the result]
+
+(7) export UV layout to SVG (UVs->Scripts->Save UV Face Layout)
