fun GroupNode.configure(layerName: String = "layer", penSpeed: Int? = null, penHeight: Int? = null, plotDelay: Int? = null, layerMode: AxiLayerMode = AxiLayerMode.DEFAULT)

Configure an SVG layer name. Certain character sequences are used by the Axidraw software to control layer speed, height and delay. Other characters make the layer be ignored, or trigger a pause. The arguments in this function provide a typed approach to construct the layer name. See https://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/AxiDraw_Layer_Control
