Packing Algorithms

Skyline

Skyline packing place surfaces next to each other horizontally until it reach Max Width, then it goes to the beginning of the row and search for the best fit for the next surface. It is a very fast algorithm but it can leave a lot of empty space.

Shelf

Shelf packing place surfaces next to each other horizontally until it reach Max Width while keeping the same height, then it goes to the next row.

Top left

Top left packing sort the surfaces by height and always try to place the next surface in the top left corner of the leftover space.
