Try using some different container like HBox or VBox it will automatically arrange the dropped component x and y you just need to set the height and width.

I drop the first item, from a List, between (0,0) and (50,100). My logic moves the item to (0,0) and sets width=100 and height=50. Now, I drop another item between (0,0) and (50,100), with the same width and a height=300. However, there are now two items that are overlapping. I need these items to be side-by-side, both with a width=50, instead of 100 and overlapping. So the question is, how do I identify the overlap and adjust for it. What if I drop a 3rd, 4th, or 5th item? I need the width to adjust accordingly so everything equally shares the available width.
