Seeking Help with Non-Overlapping Placement Logic for Groups in Layout Design

Hussain Aalim

Hi everyone,

I am working on a layout design where I need to position various groups (each represented by a shape of bounding box). I have already placed these groups at fixed locations, but they are overlapping.

I am looking for assistance with writing a skill code that will help me achieve non-overlapping placements. The groups vary in size—some are larger while some are smaller—and I need to ensure that when they overlap, the code automatically displaces them to avoid any conflicts.

If anyone has experience with this type of logic or can provide guidance, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi  

    Thank you for your suggestion regarding using the bounding boxes (bbox) to check for overlaps between groups. In my case, the bounding boxes vary significantly some are wider, while others are taller or have different dimensions.

    I am looking to integrate a non-overlapping placement logic into my existing work. If you could share any code logic that would help me implement this, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you for your assistance!
