Description:

rectanglepackingsolver 0.0.5

rectangle-packing-solver







A solver to find a solution of the 2D rectangle packing problem by simulated annealing (SA) optimization.
Sequence-pair [1] is used to represent a rectangle placement (floorplan).
Features

Solution quality and execution time are tunable, since the solver is SA-based.
Not only integers but also real numbers can be set as a rectangle width and height.
A rectangle can rotate while optimizing.
The built-in visualizer visualizes a floorplan solution.

Installation
pip install rectangle-packing-solver

Example Usage
Sample code:
import rectangle_packing_solver as rps

# Define a problem
problem = rps.Problem(rectangles=[
[4, 6], # Format: [width, height] as list. Default rotatable: False
(4, 4), # Format: (width, height) as tuple. Default rotatable: False
{"width": 2.1, "height": 3.2, "rotatable": False}, # Or can be defined as dict.
{"width": 1, "height": 5, "rotatable": True},
])
print("problem:", problem)

# Find a solution
print("\n=== Solving without width/height constraints ===")
solution = rpm.Solver().solve(problem=problem)
print("solution:", solution)

# Visualization (to floorplan.png)
rps.Visualizer().visualize(solution=solution, path="./floorplan.png")

# [Other Usages]
# We can also give a solution width (and/or height) limit, as well as progress bar and random seed
print("\n=== Solving with width/height constraints ===")
solution = rps.Solver().solve(problem=problem, height_limit=6.5, show_progress=True, seed=1111)
print("solution:", solution)
rps.Visualizer().visualize(solution=solution, path="./figs/floorplan_limit.png")

Output:
