Consider the script:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

view shape rectangle
width: #numberOfMethods;
height: [ :cls | cls numberOfVariables * 7 ].
view nodes: Collection withAllSubclasses.
view layout: (RORectanglePackLayout new padding: 4).

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

It gives:

With no padding

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

view shape rectangle
width: #numberOfMethods;
height: [ :cls | cls numberOfVariables * 7 ].
view nodes: Collection withAllSubclasses.
view layout: (RORectanglePackLayout new).

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

With Mathieu layout we have:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
view shape rectangle
width: #numberOfMethods;
height: [ :cls | cls numberOfVariables * 7 ].
view nodes: Collection withAllSubclasses.
view layout: (RORectanglePackLayout new).
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Results are quite different

Didn't Mathieu Dehouck develop a similar layout this summer ?

Hi everyone!

You know, some times you have a pile of different rectangles representing some entities. And you want to show them to someone so that he can take a look at them to assess something. But there is always a question how do you arrange this rectangles? Usually it's not practical to place them in a line or in a circle because it takes too much space. I've developed a layout that tries to pack rectangles in a compact space, and here is how it looks like:

You can load it into your image with:
Gofer new
  smalltalkhubUser: 'YuriyTymchuk' project: 'RecPack-Layout';
  package: 'RecPack-Layout';
  load.

and you can see a couple of examples in Roassal easel.

Feedback is appreciated.

Cheers!
