Re: Compose rectangles within another rectangle

In addition to the blackpawn & J.Arevalo references already mentioned,
John Ratcliff has also posted his take on texture atlas creation:
http://codesuppository.blogspot.com/2009/04/texture-packing-code-snippet-to-compute.html

<http://codesuppository.blogspot.com/2009/04/texture-packing-code-snippet-to-compute.html>That
solution adds the twist that you can actually rotate rectangles so that all
rectangle
widths are always >= heights (just rotate uv coordinates as well).


If somebody does comparisons about how much that actually gives additional
help
for texture space usage, I'd be interested in hearing the results...

Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the
world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference
attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through
interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies.
