multiple configurations of shapes

Hi all,

Just had a thought...Is there a parameter or method on grasshopper to calculate every single possible configuration of a set of shapes?

Imagine you are in Plan view and have a selection of 5 different closed geometric polyline curves drawn, i.e. PLine_01, PLine_02, PLine_03, PLine_04, PLine_05.

Is there a way of asking grasshopper to attach/fit these polylines together in as many different combinations as possible, without the lines ever crossing over?

Hope this makes sense!

You can't yet, it hasn't been released. There's a couple of videos of Galapagos in the Video Gallery, but these are just simple tests so far.
