circle packing feels slightly different problem, especially as it doesn't tend to have any obvious algorithmic solutions available; circle packing produces irregular packings which I'm not sure I'd call super uniform
btw what are the colors indicating on that page? its missing a legend and its not immediately obvious to me.
- mturmon 2y agoI get you. The purple circles are not kissing other circles, but the yellow ones -- not sure. In general it seems to have to do with how constrained they are. And there may be differently-arranged also-optimal packings - e.g. for N = 18 there are others besides what is shown.
