I have some rectangles A,B,C,D,... I wan to place them in a bigger rectangle Z, how to minimize area of Z?
where I say place I mean make Z cover A,cover B & cover all others, but A,B,.. should not overlap. also the position of A,B,C...is not important & u can even rotate the rectangles to get smaller Z I guess there may be a theorem saying that rotating on a rangle a (which is not 0,90,180,270, ...) is not neccessary to get the minimum Z, but have not found it on Google, also have not proved or disproved it --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
