pleat

The pleat macro is used to mark a pleat on a pattern. It draws the appropriate lines perpendicular to the line going from from to to. The pleat macro follows the convention of paths being counter-clockwise to determine what is the inside or outside of the part.

It is provided by plugin-annotations, which is part of core-plugins (so it is available by default).
