Dynamic layouts with align, distribute and pack nodes

Aligning, distributing and packing elements using the buttons in the toolbar had already been implemented previously, but now the same functionality is also available via layer nodes for Align, Distribute and Pack. This means that you can set up dynamic rules to layout or arrange your generated elements automatically as they change.

As shown in this example video you could use this to set up simple dynamic layouts that adapt to the sized of the elements in the groups. Or you could use it for some different purpose where you randomly generate different size elements, or just want the layout to adjust to your changes.
