It looks really interesting to me, though rather complex.
The macro I wrote is intended to serve my poor needs: I got bored placing
every single object on a table (like in my last IRTC entry). So I just wrote
a little (and extremely simple) script that places any objects (the number
is unlimited) in a rectangle. The placing is absolutely random. So, if there
are too many objects and too little space the computer spends a lot of time
to find free spots. Because it just verifies, each time, if a random
position doesn't touch any object already placed (and the obstacles as
well).
If anyone is interested in it, I can post it.

Regards,
Jonathan.
