Is gluing necessary? If not I have made some macros to help origami designing.
It is not perfect becouse of complex behaviour of paper but in basic shapes it
could be enough. I have used it in

There is an 'origami.inc' include file. There are some macros to draw folded

is no description for those macros so it can be crappy in usage, sorry. Feel
