Tessellation software

Post by DBM58 » Wed Aug 22, 2007 4:43 pm

This has absolutely nothing to do with MX5s but can anyone suggest a simple (preferably shareware) program that can given total sheet size eg. 2400 x 1200) calculate the most efficient way to tessellate with smaller pieces.

Thanks
David

You got that right!

Wikipedia has a nice article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesselation

Since you didn't specify any constraints, I'll give you a basic
tesselation, and I didn't need a computer to find it: Tesselate with
squares, eg. a 2400 x 1200 array of 1 x 1 squares for your example.

Is that the answer you were looking for? No? Then you need to be more
specific. I also think there might be better forums to ask in - if you
don't mind a linux answer (you didn't specify what OS you wanted your
shareware for), then I suggest NZLUG:

I would like a new paint job, but in the original yellow. The tessellation thing is for a way of working out best sheet utilization when it comes to cutting out various different shapes.
