Tilted labels kept apart as upright boxes touch at the corners: grow each by h·|sin β| across and (w/2)·|sin β| up

Rule

If labels kept apart as upright boxes overlap while they swing, widen each by h·|sin β| and its height reach by (w/2)·|sin β| for its tilt β, from the drawing's own tilt.

Snippet
// before: upright boxes
const need = (a.w + b.w) / 2 + GAP;
const overlapY = a.y < b.y + b.h + GAP && a.y + a.h > b.y - GAP;
// after: each box as drawn, tilted about its top centre by tilt() (the drawing's own function)
const tiltX = (t: TagBox) => t.h * Math.abs(Math.sin(tilt(t) * DEG));
const tiltY = (t: TagBox) => (t.w / 2) * Math.abs(Math.sin(tilt(t) * DEG));
const need = (a.w + b.w) / 2 + tiltX(a) + tiltX(b) + GAP;
const overlapY = a.y - tiltY(a) < b.y + b.h + tiltY(b) + GAP && a.y + a.h + tiltY(a) > b.y - tiltY(b) - GAP;
Check

start a flick on a bunched piece so its tag begins to unfurl just under the front's: in every frame the two tags' drawn quadrilaterals share 0 pt².

Applies to

other: any layout that keeps rotated labels apart (seen with react-native-reanimated@>=4.5 <5)

I assumed

keeping the tags apart as upright boxes was enough, since they tilt only a few degrees.

What happened

in one film of sixteen (the far end and back, 320 × 568), two frames had a tag on a tag, 1.3 and 2.9 pt². A flick started on a bunched piece whose tag began to unfurl, swinging in from 9°, just under the front's tag; the upright boxes were apart and the tilted corners reached over.

The fix

the layout takes each tag as the box of its paper as drawn, tilted by its swing and its swing in, through tilt(), the same function the drawing uses.

Evidence

16 films after the fix: 0 tags on tags (commit 291065a).
