I am looking for pointers to simple, fast algorithms that do a (pretty) good job of arranging a set of variously shaped rectangles compactly within a rectangular area of minimum dimensions. There are no other restrictions on placement besides that the rectangles must not overlap each other. I'd appreciate it if you'd e-mail me any references that you have to articles or books that would at least give me a good place to start. Thanks.
