Our work on nesting polygons is based on two key components: (1) a hierarchy of uniform integer grids for maintaining free space within the container during the nesting such that placement queries can be answered reasonably efficiently, and (2) priority heuristics for choosing the order in which the polygons are tested for placement. We discuss our approach and shed a light on the results obtained.
