#macro write_pieces(label, mat, qt, dx,dy,dz)
  // Appends to file {pieces} the dimensions of {qt} pieces of flat 
  // material to cut.
  
  // The {mat} parameter is a short string that identifies the
  // material, such as "plywd" for plywood, "plast" for plastic,
  // "steel" for steel plate, etc.

  // Usually {dx} is length, {dy} is width, {dz} is thickness.
  // The number string {label} is printed at the right.
