Synopsis Dense packing of a list of figures.

Function Figure pack(Figures figs, FProperty props...)

Description Pack the given figures in arbitrary order to fill space as efficiently as possible. Our bin packing algorithm is inspired by LightMaps.

The size computation is automatic and attempts to obtain a rectangular image close to a square. The gap property is used for the distance between figures.

When the vertical size available is too small, a vertical scrollbar will appear.

Examples

b1 = box(size(20,30), fillColor("Red"));
b2 = box(size(40,20), fillColor("Blue"));
b3 = box(size(40,40), fillColor("Yellow"));
b4 = box(size(10,20), fillColor("Green"));
b5 = box(size(10,20), fillColor("Purple"));
b6 = box(size(60,20), fillColor("Orange"));
b7 = box(size(10,80), fillColor("Black"));
b8 = box(size(70,10), fillColor("White"));
b9 = box(size(100,10), fillColor("Grey"));
b10 = box(size(10,100), fillColor("Silver"));
b11 = box(size(20), fillColor("Pink"));
b12 = box(size(30), fillColor("GoldenRod"));
render(pack([b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8, b9, b10, b11, b12], std(gap(10))));
