algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Hi, I am actually desiging a wall (sort of memorial) that is 20m long by 3m height.
I need to feed the wall with 7000 full names (EX; Pascal Gobeil).
There is also 3 differents heights for the names (following the importance of donation).
I have the idea to create rectangles based on text lenght and variable heights (3 types) that are bounding "like tetris" (computation a best solutions) (i dont want to have continus row or colomn if it's possible)
I found some jQuery (JCloud) but i dont know how it works and the random definition dont allow me to put precise height variations.
I am not using grasshopper enought to know how to build it but i know that someone here will probably do it easily.Thanks for you help!

Check out RhinoNest. It may do what you want.
Or PackRat.

Bonjour Laurent,
Tout d'abord,merci énormément pour ce travail. Je ne m'attendais pas à recevoir carrément une définition gh tout nickel comme ça! Comme je le disais au début de cette conversation, le projet consiste en un mur de noms (donateurs) distribué de manière aléatoire sur 5 surfaces d'environ 1750mm de large par 2650mm de haut (impression sur verre). Les nom ne doivent pas chevaucher plus d'une plaque de verre (5)
J'ai pensé aux rectangles parce que l'utilisation du text semble flexible dans grasshopper. Wordle ( http://www.wordle.net/) ressemble pas mal à ce que je cherche à faire au final. Par contre, Il ne me permet pas vraiment beaucoup de control sur les dimensions hors-tout, les espacements et les proportions, etc.
Un problème que j'ai trouvé c'est un nombre maximum de mots par boite de texte "txt" en multiligne. Est-ce que je peux lier mon paramètre txt à un fichier externe .xls?
J'ai joint un fichier avec les 7000 noms, L'idée serait maintenant de remplacer tous ces rectangles par ces noms! Les catégories représentes la variation en hauteur des noms.
En essayant "text length" je me suis rendu compte qu'il calculait le nombre de lettre et nom la longueur réelle ce qui est un réel problème.

Hello Laurent ,
First of all, thank you so much for this work. I do not expect to receive a "almost done" definition like that! As I said at the beginning of this conversation, the project consists of a wall of names (contributors) randomly distributed on 5 surfaces approximately 1750mm wide by 2650mm high (printing on glass) . The name must not overlap more than one glass plate (5)
The idea of rectangles first was because the use of text components in grasshopper looks complicated and limited.
I also try Wordle ( http://www.wordle.net/ ) to to this. Unfortunately, it does not allow me to really control the overall dimensions , spacing and proportions , etc.
One problem (grasshopper) I 've found is a maximum number of words (lines) per text component"txt" in multiline . Do you know if i can link my txt component to an .xls external file ?
I have attached a file with 7,000 names, the idea would now be to replace all these rectangles by these names!
The categories are corresponding to the variation in height names.
I tried "text length" but I realized that it was calculating the number of letter of words and not the real length. that is a problem.
An example with "I love you" in differents languages. You must also use Excel file.
Merci beaucoup. Par contre je ne comprends pas trop comment lire le fichier exel (je n'ai que openoffice à la maison) J'ai installé Lunchbox et tout semble fonctionner à l'exception de la lecture du fichier openoffice...Mais ce n'est pas trop grave, je vais le lire au travail demain...
A last updated version, with a bug correction, some adjustments on font size. I don't understand why but there is a 1% of difference between text and text to curves. I add Human pluging text Tag because it allows a display of the text with the good font. I think for printing the best is to use text, there is also a rectangle showing limits. Have fun and when your project will be finished post some photos.
