I should fill the area of a 400x100 square with random circles having random diameters between 20 and 1 (without overlap). Then, I need the output file of the generated coordinates. Can someone help me, please?

please some body help??

M - what have you tried so far? Please show your work and describe any issues or errors that you have encountered.

[Jan]

Please mention the details: Are the random diameters the floating point values from 1 to 20, or the integers? Does "between" mean inclusively or exclusively? Are the random diameters distributed equally or normally or what? What is the format of the output file? How can a "400x100" be a square and not a rectangle? How many random circles do you want? Do you want the package with the maximum number for a given set of circles? Or are the centers set randomly also?

Currently your question does not contain enough details to be answered and you did not show, what you have tried so far. It sounds like you want the forum to solve your homework.

No sir, I dont know how to proceed?

All the random diameters i want is integers. sorry for the typo 400 * 100 is rectangle. yes i want package with maximum number of cirlcles.

pointsToPlace5 = 5000 ; % # of random coordinates we need to place

x5 = zeros(1, pointsToPlace5);

y5 = zeros(1, pointsToPlace5);

loopCounter5 = 1;

maxIterations5 = 200000; % Number of tries before giving up.

numberPlaced5 = 0; % No points placed yet.

while numberPlaced5 < pointsToPlace5 && loopCounter5 < maxIterations5

% Get new coordinate

xProposed5 = round((20 + (380-20)*rand()),0); %% random X- coordinates

yProposed5 = round((15 + (90-15)*rand()),0); %% random Y- coordinates

if loopCounter5 == 1

% First one automatically gets added of course.

numberPlaced5 = 1;

x5(numberPlaced5) = xProposed5;

y5(numberPlaced5) = yProposed5;

else

% Compute distance to all prior coordinates.

distances5 = sqrt((xProposed5-x5(1:numberPlaced5)).^2 +(yProposed5-y5(1:numberPlaced5)).^2);

% If less than 20, add it

if min(distances5 >= 2)

numberPlaced5 = numberPlaced5 + 1;

x5(numberPlaced5) = xProposed5;

y5(numberPlaced5) = yProposed5;

end

end

loopCounter5 = loopCounter5 + 1;

end

this code will generate random points which are at a distace of 2. but i want packing of circles with different radii (integers)

sorry to forum members, i am not expecting forum to solve completely. i'm expecting only help.

its my mistake , i didnt provide any details
