This is a quadratic programming problem in which the squared differences between a placement vector and some ideal placement are minimised subject to a set of separation constraints. This is very useful in a number of layout problems. + +libvpsc is part of the +<a href="http://www.adaptagrams.org/">Adaptagrams project</a>. +There are no official releases yet, though the code is stable and +available from the Adaptagrams +<a href="https://github.com/mjwybrow/adaptagrams">GitHub +repository</a>. + +The API is documented using Doxygen.
