Values

ValueMeaning
rows

A basic, fast, but wasteful algorithm. (~6–10% waste)

It inserts the tallest unpacked rectangle and moves right until it reaches the right edge, then goes down by the height of the tallest rectangle in that row.

pixelScan

A relatively simple but slow algorithm, that tends to waste very little space. (~2–6% waste)

It inserts the tallest unpacked rectangle into the topmost, leftmost space large enough to accommodate it.
