I'm interested in seeing if there are some other unexplored tiling algorithms out there, we could try out. Fib spiral tiling seems one option. There must be some other cool ones (just start at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation). There's a lot of research on plane tiling we could just adopt directly.
Anyone want to write a few interesting ones?
I've got more ideas to improve Mosaic (basically making it respect hints, and allowing users to input their own hints--minimum dimensions, aspect ratios--either rigid or flexible, maximum dimensions, preferd dimensions, etc---and make mosaic try to optimize the layout, if necesary refusing to display all windows, although this last bit should be optional), but not enough time and wrist-health to work on it. :( But you probably could have guessed this... -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net
