Circle packing plugin - is it possible or does it exist?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone written a plugin to enable circle packing (see attached)? I'm looking for a way of automating large-area planting plans. The ideal would be:

1 - enter in a range of diameters (say 5 or so)

2 - enter in a cover percentage for each type

4 - enter an overlapping percentage, for multi-canopy arrangements

4 - run to generate arrangement of circles

and then by varying the degree of randomness one could generate a visually realistic tree arrangement. Ideally this would work with symbols to enable rapid counting.

I know this is possible in Rhino, but what about VW?
