Do the divisions have to be themselves rectangles? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x____________B_____C_______x x_____A____________________x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
would be a representation of the problem? However, though, I think that what you mean with your Points being smaller and things, is that the points are centered in the middle of their peice of the rectangle, whichs makes the problem really easy. If that is the case, notice that: width of Rectangle A = 2 * the_x_coordinate_ofA Subsequent widths can be found by subtracting the left side of the rectangle from the equation above. This is modified as follows width of Rectangle X = 2 * the_x_coordinate_ofX - width_so_far The height of your rectangles will all be the same (if i read the question right), so translating this to python is simple.
