Hello everybody : )
I hope my question is appropriate for this forum / this website, because it isn't related to coding directly.
I want to use a 2D bin-packing algorithm to arrange squares with predefined dimensions within a "container" that adapts its size. The container's size has to be minimal, of course.
Well, I know how to implement this algorithm in Java (with a k-d-tree, etc.) and did a lot of research recently about this topic. But I was ordered to first assure that there is no existing library, that I could use for my task (the thing about not reinventing the wheel ^^).
I spent a lot of time on Google to find something I could use, but my search wasn't successful, unfortunately.
Therefore, my question is, if anybody here knows of any Java library, that solves this problem. It doesn't have to be a perfect solution, so, if there's a bit of code-adapting necessary that would be acceptable, after all.
Thanks for your effort in advance.
Regards.
PS: sorry, but "2D bin-packing" was no legitamate tag for this question. I hope that's fine, after all : )
