you mean if i have a big rectangle that is 60 length, 30 width, then i would use 60% length, 30% width for smaller rectangles? yes, but I wonder if adding areas that you can't put centerpoints of rectangles will divide the room into more rectangles and change this 'optimum' spacing?
I'm looking for a 'covering rectangle with smaller rectangles' algorithm with the unique feature of being able to exclude some possible center points of rectangles. Basically, limiting the possible areas the smaller rectangles can be placed, while still having the algorithm try to solve for...
