Place random non-overlapping rectangles on a panel

Question

I\'ve a panel of size X by Y. I want to place up to N rectangles, sized randomly, upon this panel, but I don\'t want any of them to overlap. I need to know the X, Y position

Answer 1

Or maintain a list of rectangles already added and create an algorithm that figures out where to place the new rectangle based on that list. You can create a basic Rectangle class to hold the information about your rectangles.

Shouldn't be so hard to create a custom algorithm.
