Hi Dave,

Dave: Can one rectangle connect to more than 4 other rectangles? If so, then there can be more than one connection at any mid-point, correct?

Yes, a given rectangle, could have many other rectangles connecting to any of its sides mid-points.

Dave: Are there any data sets to play around with that define the bounding box, the rectangles, and the connect-to list of rectangle pairs?

For right now, I'm assuming the following conditions, in addition to the ones I've described previously:

1. the bounding box of the container in which all rectangles are shown is known.

2. the location of each rectangle is known within the container.

3. the connections are made visually, at run-time, by the end-user. Of course they can be saved as a set, and saved sets can be loaded in: a set loaded in can have its connections added to connections already made after, perhaps, being filtered to exclude duplicates

Dave: And, circuit board is massively too big, you are talking about chip design, right?

No, this has nothing to do with hardware, it's more in the area of wanting to show complex interconnections between multiple hierarchical data sets. A form of "meta-cataloging," if you will. But I ... instinctively ... feel that the same issues must arise in printed circuit-board design, and algorithms that create mazes, etc.

Again, thanks for your time, and response. I am going to "take my head out of this problem-space for a few days" (no deadline pending here), and think about the points you and CJB110 have raised.

best, Bill
