Re: [Algorithms] Best fit of polygon inside another polygon

[Peter L. <pe...@to...>]

not at all - if you think of the physical world rather than a 
mathematical one, this search for 'best fit' is one that a child might 
use playing with a set of odd-shape blocks and a box.  Ask him which 
shape 'best fits' in the box and he won't think of scale...
