However I'm not sure one of them is working...
Entering 555 for the # of items, here's a side-by-side comparison for the 2 programs...
Layout Steve.Cols Mad.Cols Steve.Rows Mad.Rows Steve.Empty Mad.Empty HD display 32 33 18 17 21 6 Letter Size 34 20 44 20 941 5 Square 24 24 24 24 21 21
Thoughts?
33:17 isn't the same ratio as 16:9, so yours is failing to match the grid somewhere.
16:9 is a 1.77777 ratio.
33:17 is a 1.9411 ratio.
Those aren't the same at all.
As for the letter size, that's because I swapped it to an integer ratio and not anything fractional. (17 x 22 instead of 8.5 x 11) I figure it's hard to break your items into half-grids like that, so I wanted to go with an integer ratio.
And again, the ratio for yours isn't holding true to that 17x22 ratio. In fact, I'm not even certain how yours can call that a solution.
20 rows, 20 columns = 400 items for your grid. How are you going to put your 555 items into the grid, and still have 5 empty spaces left over?
Something is wrong with the math on yours, somewhere along the way.
