+ | This version of the heuristic stops packing when it has reached a threshold, in this case if more than 99% of the original rectangular surface is covered. This corresponds to 9,869 rectangles of the 10,000 original ones picked. The actual coverage of the surface is 99.14%, corresponding to a packing ''factor'' of 1/0.9914 = 1.0087. | ||

2D-Packing Rectangles
Multithreaded 2D-Packing
|
A demo made of a 2D-Packing heuristic. The algorithm is given 10,000 randomly generated rectangles. |
Multithreaded 2D-Packing with pre-placed items
|
A demo made of a 2D-Packing heuristic. The algorithm is given 10,000 randomly generated rectangles, 5 of which have been modified to have fixed positions, and specific locations in the final rectangular surface. These are the pre-placed items. |
