I need an principle to get my program sorting basic geometric shapes (triangles and quadrangles) into a large rectangle. User is asked to input angles, dimenzions and number of shapes, and program is suposed to sort them all into rectangle whose dimensions are alredy known, and whose surface is graiter then addition of all entered shapes' surfaces, so the surface left on the big guy is as much like a rectangle itself as possible... Interesting, huh?
I donnt know how to characterize this, as an geometry problem, a logic problem, or what... Anyway, when I try to think of any way to do this, I just donnt know where to start from...
Can someone come to just anything about this, please?

try a genetic algorithm, you'll find free libraries on the web, every input has a number, every known rectangle another, match random inputs in rectangles and the entire collection of such pairs will make a solution, make 20, 30 solutions and apply the genetic algorithm, your goal is to minimize the entire left area; something like that
if u want to obtain money from this tell me at [email protected], maybe we can do something :-))))

Yeah, I wanted, but I realized that algorithm would be too much for me to make. It was ment to serve for some carpenter factory, as for a man it takes few days to complete the task, so they would pay good. Now you know where to sell your program, if you make it:)

Now we develope a software for furniture design; is almost finished so we can collaborate in new project in the future.
Tell me more about you and what your decision
sincerely yours
Dan

hmmm.. Is there any special reason you are not sending me a preview of your program? I mailed you about 2 weeks ago. In case you donnt check mail, my mail is [email protected]

Hello??
Anybody there?
Sorry again
