Topic: the minimum length B

The known: sample A1, A2 and fixed width A template.

Results: the minimum length B

Do a search on bounding box and you find your answer.

Looking at your picture, I think B can be less when A2 is aligned with the top side.

My guess is that the OP is wanting the LISP to position the shapes A1 & A2 for optimizing the BB.

My guess is that the OP is wanting the LISP to position the shapes A1 & A2 for optimizing the BB.

and with constant A.
But i thing all member will not like the way of posting of OP

I second that.

Looks like there are quite a few out there to choose from.

To design a lisp routine I think you might model it after the tetras game.
Find the largest part and place it in the bottom left corner.
Then the next largest, place it to touch the touch the first part.
Manipulate it until it makes the smallest bounding box when parts are combined.
Then move it to maintain a minimum offset distance.

Looks like bounding box would not be the best tool. A boundary may work better in evaluating the combining shapes.

Just thinking aloud.
Back to quiet mode.
