Distribute a set of objects with minimum or with specified distance between them

Dear gurus,


Can any genius think of any way to distribute a set of variously-sized 2D objects on a 2D surface in Photoshop or Illustrator? Illustrator lets you align objects evenly along a 1D line, but I want the objects to basically fill a surface evenly.
A simple way of phrasing this is: I have a set of X objects of different size (or shape). I want them to be as close to each other as possible, but without overlapping. It should be easy for software to find the perfect composition to minimize "air gap" between them.


As a result, If I feed the program with shapes of various shape and size, I should get results like this:


wholesale-fabric-discount-store.com/images/Giraffe_Fabric.jpg (air gap between the objects is approx. mininal)


Thank you very much for any suggestions!

Wow, something strange happened, my post is all incoherent for some reason. Is there no way to edit it? Basically, everything above "dear gurus" should be ignored.
