Probably this is not what you are looking for but: If your maximum square count is relatively low then you could use some kind of brute-force technique where you could "try" different cases. This might be the only way if the "squares" are actually "rectangles" (i.e. images) with varying ratios: that way, each line could have a different "height" to maximize the screen space. But that's probably OT... :)
My 0.02 $ B. 2006/5/8, Mike Mountain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
All my squares need to be the same size - so for example what's the best way of laying out 'n' equal squares in an areas x,y so the squares are as big as they can be. There must be an algo for this kind of thing.
