Rectangle Packing

Rectangle packing is a packing problem where rectangles are placed into a larger rectangular region (without overlapping) in order to maximise the use space. Rectangles are packed using the skyline heuristic as discussed in Lijun et al (2011) 'A Skyline-Based Heuristic for the 2D Rectangular Strip Packing Problem' . A function is also included for determining a good small-sized box for containing a given set of rectangles.
