1. A method for achieving an automated joining of two-dimensional objects, comprising the steps of:

  • selecting a first set of points of a first one of the two-dimensional objects;

    selecting a second set of points of a second one of the two-dimensional objects;

    assigning one point of the second set to each point of the first set;

    assigning one point of the first set to each point of the second set;

    solving an equation system by performing the steps of;

    setting up a transformation equation for points of the first set with a plurality of variable parameters and determining those values of the plurality of variable parameters for which a sum of all squared values of distances between a transformed point of the first set and a corresponding point of the second set assumes a minimum; and

    plotting the first one of the two-dimensional objects on the second one of the two-dimensional objects in accordance with the transformation equation;

    wherein each point of each one of the first set and the second set is represented by a complex number.
