ABSTRACT:
A method for arranging a set of graphic assemblies within an area includes associating a presentation of a first graphic assembly with a tree structure to form a candidate tree; modifying the candidate tree to form at least one alternate candidate tree by associating each presentation of a subsequent graphic assembly with at least one available location in the candidate tree; computing scores for each alternate candidate tree with the subsequent graphic assembly in each possible presentation in the at least one available location on the candidate tree; selecting the alternate candidate tree having a best score; designating the alternate candidate tree having a best score to be the candidate tree; repeating modifying, computing, selecting and designating for all remaining graphic assemblies; and arranging the set of graphic assemblies within the area in accordance with the candidate tree.
