Explanations
Checks if a given position is valid for inserting a piece.
Parameters
TopX, TopY, BottomX, BottomY - the coordinates of the extremities of the piece. These coordinates will be adjusted by the component in order to have a valid guillotine layout. This means that the piece will be moved (if necessarily) to the left and top until some existing cuttings (or the margin of the sheet) will be reached.
CutType - 0 = best cut (the shortest one); 1 = Left Right first and then Top-Bottom; 2 = Top-Bottom first and then Left-Right
Allow - returns 1 if the position is a good one. Otherwise returns 0.
