Overview

This is a 2D fit-first greedy heuristic algorithm that tries to fit each box into the trunk, largest first. If no box fits,
a new trunk is created.

I'm representing trunks as 2D tables of squares (with one unit of hidden padding around), then fill it starting
from top left. The fitter-first finds a row with enough empty space to fit the box and then checks if the next box-height
rows also contain the space. If they do, the box is drawn to the rows.
Printing is easy because the trunk already is in printable format.
Not a particularly fast way to do it, mind you :)

If you're interested about different algorithms for solving the 2D bin packing problem,
here's a paper:http://www.dei.unipd.it/~fisch/ricop/tesi/tesi_dottorato_Lodi_1999.pdf

in the Zone and it will be deleted from the list of mats

#empty? ⇒ Object

Alias for @items#empty?

Returns:
